Stephanie Headley is on a mission to see OlaySkin inside everyone’s medicine cabinet.
Well, I think of it as being able to do things on a much larger scale. When I think about the purpose of Olay, we want to inspire each and every woman to have the confidence to be fearless to face anything. I really take that to heart. I believe in that purpose and I try to bring it to life in everything we do as she selects her skin care, so that she’s more confident to face her day, and really confident to face her life.
We [also] want to double the number of women of color who are pursuing STEM [science, technology, engineering and math] fields. Science matters and there’s a lot of science in every one of these jars. We want to continue to give more women the opportunity to pursue careers in STEM and close that STEM gap by 2030. [The gap is that women hold only 24 percent of these roles, according to Olay.
Black women have been left out of skin care conversations and product targeting for so long — how do you ensure this doesn’t continue to happen?For me, and for this organization, inclusion and belonging is a core value, it’s core to who we are and it’s how we do our work. In part of the innovation program, I talk about vitamin C a lot because this was actually designed for women of color and was designed by Dr. Markaisa Black, who is a woman of color who’s a scientist.
What are your top three strategic priorities for the year ahead, and what would make you feel most accomplished in your new role?] over the last five years have really been proven to grow Olay and has created a perfect foundation for me. Among other accolades, you’ve been recognized as one of Ebony’s Power 100, which only goes to those who are really leading in their field. What did that feel like?Oh that was an amazing recognition. I grew up with Ebony magazines in my home and I would read those stories and it really broadened my world on what was possible for me. I have continued to have this passion to go see the world, explore the world and continue to stretch myself on what is possible for me.
