Join Wharton Dean Erika James and visionary entrepreneur Gregg Renfrew for a conversation about how building, managing, and evolving purpose-driven brands can power women and change entire industries in the process. Renfrew founded Beautycounter in 2011, helping ignite the clean beauty movement and building a category-defining leader before its $1 billion acquisition by The Carlyle Group. After reacquiring its assets, she launched Counter and will introduce beecee, a beauty brand for the next generation of women, in September 2026. The first 100 attendees will receive a complimentary Counter gift set.
After the event, attendees are welcome to join us for a reception for food, drink, and conversation with guests and fellow attendees.
