Bio
Valérie Kaminov is Founder and Managing Director of the highly successful International Luxury Brand Consultancy based in London. For over 25 years Valérie has been at the forefront of the global cosmetics industry and has worked with a vast array of luxury, premium and niche beauty brands, and fragrances. Her extensive expertise, commercial acumen and practical experience are much sought after by both iconic global brands and newly emerging talents.
Originating from France Valérie’s entrepreneurial spirit soon led her to London with the launch of her own company specializing in corporate gifting. One of her clients was the world-famous Harrods department store and it was not long before the owner directly approached her to run the store’s Corporate Gifts department, a role she did with great success. It was during her time at this iconic Knightsbridge store that Valérie was first introduced to the world of beauty, and she soon decided this was the industry for her. From Harrods, she went on to work with independent brands and industry icons including the multi-award-winning REN Skincare, who’s exceptional global growth was achieved under Valérie.
Over the years, Valérie has honed her skills to become one of the most recognized authorities on developing brand distribution channels and models. Her instinctive understanding of a brand is reflective in her ability to successfully elevate newer Indie brands and well-established classics. Her wealth of knowledge in international growth strategies and business development is combined with an inspirational and forward-thinking approach. Through her exceptional insight and understanding of the industry, Valérie has helped brands amplify their market reach on an international scale, elevate their brand presence, and improve their performance. To her clients, she is more than a consultant, she is a trusted asset, partner, brand guardian and advisor of choice. It is why her portfolio of clients includes brands such as Miller Harris, Penhaligon’s, Philip Kingsley, Thalgo Group, Aurelia Probiotic to name a few.
Valérie ’s expertise in brand evaluation, acquisition due diligence, risk assessment, and commercial growth is particularly highly valued by Private Equity Funds, multi-national organizations, and financial investors. Her advanced qualifications and her proficiency in corporate governance have made her a much-desired Board Advisor and Non-Executive Director to well-established companies and pioneering Indie brands. Valérie is also dedicated to passing her knowledge along through a range of conferences and events. She has been a guest speaker at the non-profit organization CEW’ Mentoring Services where leading executives offer guidance and professional development support.
In her role as host of the International Manufacturers & Distributors Forum Valérie is instrumental in organizing this influential global gathering for manufacturers, brand owners, and distributors. Under her expert guidance, the conference provides valuable business intelligence and gives the delegates the opportunity to connect with global industry leaders.

Her passion for the industry ensures she always aware of the latest trends and developments. This international perspective is complemented by Valérie’s impressive language skills with fluency in French, English, and Russian along with a strong working ability in Spanish and Italian.
