Becker has more than 20 years of experience expanding brands throughout the beauty, lifestyle and health care categories.  As president of EMEA, he will be responsible for growing Beauty Health’s footprint throughout the EMEA markets.

Becker most recently worked at Kao Group, and has also led in senior roles at leading beauty and consumer companies, such as Coty.

Becker said, "Consumer behavior towards health and wellness has significantly accelerated, and Beauty Health has a tremendous opportunity internationally. The brand strength we have seen from select marketing initiatives, including the recent pop-up location in London, is compelling. I am excited to be joining the team this October to help expand the company’s brand presence, awareness and sales in the EMEA region, as we further accelerate the global presence of Beauty Health."

Baum said: "I am honored to have joined a company building a connected community in this rapidly evolving beauty health category the company has created. The company’s unique business model and compelling product offering create a highly engaged community within the Beauty Health ecosystem. I look forward to engaging and accelerating initiatives to further strengthen its connected communities in new and innovative ways."

Under his leadership, we look forward to building upon our vision of deeply engaging with our consumers to establish a connected Beauty Health community that benefits everyone—our providers, estheticians, the customer and our company.”

Carnell continued: "We’re passionate about bringing Beauty Health and HydraFacial to new global markets, strengthening our position in existing markets and filling the demand for our services around the world. As we expand our direct market through organic growth and distributor acquisitions, we’re pleased Stephan will soon become part of our BeautyHealth family, and we’re excited to work together as we build our global infrastructure in order to reach our worldwide expansion goals in the EMEA region.”
