Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Joan
I support beauty brands (independent or established) in structuring and executing their projects: from the initial idea to market launch. My role: to secure the timeline, coordinate stakeholders (laboratory, packaging, regulatory, suppliers, marketing teams), and ensure delivery in compliance with quality, cost, and deadline requirements.
I combine a rigorous approach (project management, prioritization, process) with a fine understanding of cosmetic challenges: formulation, claims, product experience, range consistency, and execution excellence.
Possible interventions:
Product development and launch (skincare, makeup, haircare)
Project management & multi-stakeholder coordination
Laboratory monitoring / formulation brief / prototype validation
Packaging management (primary/secondary, decoration, compliance)
Timeline structuring, reporting, budget monitoring
Operational support: follow-ups, documents, methods, organization
I can intervene on short assignments (audit, scoping, timeline) or provide full support up to launch.
