“I love the smell of Tabac Absolute. It has a warmth and complexity that communicates the essence of nature in a manner that portrays both its earthiness and elegance. One whiff simply transports me….to a beautiful place. (You want to smell it now, don’t you?)”

True leadership is NOT comfortable… I believe that only in uncomfortable moments are we likely to step out and search for different and better answers. As an industry advocate, I support leaving our own “echo chamber” and seeking opportunities to listen and collaborate with stakeholders to implement meaningful programs that are streamlined, less complex, and truly benef it the consumers we all passionately care for.
