As a member of the original executive team of Bliss and the Managing Director of the seminal Bliss Out catalog and product division, Kelly took on the way women bought beauty. This venture fundamentally changed the way cosmetics and personal care were merchandised, developed, and presented to consumers creating waves of change in the industry landscape that are still felt today and led to the successful acquisition of Bliss by luxury conglomerate, LVMH.

In addition, she launched Dr. Gross’ book Your Future Face which helped establish him as a leader in the field of dermatology. In her tenure with the company, Kelly positioned MD Skincare as one of the premier cosmeceutical brands in both the retail and professional arena.
