Tangle teezer appoints innovation advisory board to fuel further growth
Tangle Teezer has announced the launch of an Innovation Advisory Board (“the Advisory Board”), a panel that brings together global business leaders and experts from across the retail, haircare, technology, ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and scientific communities.
This announcement follows Tangle Teezer’s recent record results from 2021's Fiscal Year, which was fuelled by innovation, international expansion and product offering diversification.
As Tangle Teezer continues to build international momentum, the Advisory Board will provide management with unique perspectives and insights that will support the progression of the Tangle Teezer brand and foster closer collaboration with key business stakeholders. Susan Hooper, Tangle Teezer’s chair, will lead the advisory board. Ms. Hooper brings decades of industry experience including holding senior roles at PepsiCo, Acromas Group, and Saatchi & Saatchi, as well as leading roles in ESG, as a founding director of Chapter Zero and Chair of Carbon Gap.
Members of the Advisory Board have held senior positions at globally recognised brands including Dyson, Apple, Lululemon, Allbirds, Nike and Kohler. This breadth of consumer brand knowledge is further supplemented by scientific insights, with members holding specialisations in trichology (the science of human hair) and macromolecular materials science. Additional membership includes an entrepreneurship expert and company advisor from Saïd Business School, specialising in impact-led corporate innovation.
The Tangle Teezer Innovation Advisory Board comprises of: • Susan Hooper: Chair of Tangle Teezer and Inter.Earth, board member of Moonpig plc, EUROWAG plc, and Uber UK. • Charlie Curtis: Associate Fellow and Entrepreneurship Expert at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. • James Elliot: Joint Head of the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy and Professor of Macromolecular Materials Science in the University of Cambridge. • Tammy Ng: Vice President of Global Marketing of the Kitchen and Bath Group for Kohler. • Angela Onuoha: Certified Trichologist, influencer, and educator. • Susi Proudman: CEO at Rose & William Consulting, board member of Genusee, a US-based sustainable eyewear company. Tangle Teezer Chair, Susan Hooper, commented: “There are few categories in the consumer brand sector that present such a rich opportunity for impactful innovation. Tangle Teezer helped establish the detangling category and consistently seeks to push boundaries for the industry and consumers. By working with a diverse group of innovators, we will help progress this legacy and ensure that Tangle Teezer becomes synonymous with pioneering haircare.” James Vowles, CEO of Tangle Teezer, commented: “Since 2007, we have been transforming the way people think about hair. We are thrilled to have such a high-calibre group of business, science, and haircare-savvy individuals helping us continue to re-define and further develop the haircare category. To consistently achieve sustainable innovation within our category, we must recognise that diverse thinking and experience will be paramount to our strategy’s success. With the support of the newly formed Innovation Advisory Board, I personally look forward to benefitting from each and all member’s specialist insights and expertise. I’d like to extend a warm welcome from myself and, on behalf of the Group, to all members and look forward to our journey together.”
