Gregg Renfrew

Gregg Renfrew is the Founder and Executive Chair of Beautycounter, and the true pioneer of the clean beauty movement for more than a decade. Since founding Beautycounter in 2011, she's charted an innovative path for clean beauty and created a seismic shift in the industry.

Gregg continues to set the highest standards for safety as she pushes the industry forward, testifying in front of Congress to advance legislative reform so that everyone has access to safer products. She's also inspiring a community of thousands of women to demand more for themselves by championing women’s entrepreneurship. And she's led Beautycounter's growth as it's launched more than 100 safer award-winning products, ultimately building an omnichannel business that's proven that clean beauty isn't a trend, it's here to stay.

Earlier this year, Beautycounter announced that global investment firm The Carlyle Group has acquired a majority stake in the company, valuing the business at more than $1B. The company has been widely celebrated elsewhere, receiving numerous awards including being named to the CNBC Disruptor 50 list, Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies, Allure's Best of Beauty, Glamour's Beauty Awards, Refinery29 Innovators List, and many more.

Gregg serves on the Board of Directors for Supernova Partners and The Nantucket Project, and has spoken at top business schools including Wharton (University of Pennsylvania), Tuck (Dartmouth), Stanford, and Columbia, as well as at Vanity Fair’s Founders Fair, Fortune’s Most Powerful Women, and Fast Company’s Innovation Festival.

Gregg lives in Los Angeles with her husband and three children.
