An entrepreneur behind a billion dollar beauty empire has revealed how her co-founder’s drug addiction nearly led to the downfall of her businesses.
Nicola Kilner, CEO of The Ordinary and DECIEM, was a business-management student at Nottingham Trent University. She detailed the highs and lows of her career on Steven Bartlett's podcast The Diary Of A CEO (DOAC).
As reported by Wales Online, she became one of Boots’ youngest buyers after a sponsored work programme she completed there during her university studies. A year after finishing her degree, she met Brandon Truaxe, an Iranian-Canadian cosmetic computer scientist.
