From Idea to $100 Million+ Annual Revenue With Ilia Beauty Founder, Sasha Plavsic
from Female Founder World · host Female Founder World
Sasha Plavsic was way ahead of the clean beauty movement when she launched Ilia 10 years ago. She started with just a lip balm, and now you will find a full line of award-winning Ilia products stocked at Sephora, Net-a-Porter, Follain, Nordstrom, Credo, and more retailers. Unlike a lot of more recent beauty entrepreneurs, Sasha is a behind-the-scenes founder — entirely focused on building her company rather than being the face of it. It’s an approach that’s quite literally paying off: WWD reports Ilia has doubled its year-over-year revenue every year since 2017 and looks to approach $100 million in sales in 2021. If you’re interested in steadily building an empire that lasts rather than chasing quick wins, this is the episode for you.
