Meet Nancy Twine

Entrepreneur, Investor & Advisor

Nancy Twine has carved her own unique path in the business world. Pivoting from her first career as a VP at Goldman Sachs, she sought a different life filled with inspiration and purpose. Tapping into her mother's roots in natural product formulation, she created Briogeo — the clean, high-performance hair care line that pioneered the "skinification" of hair. At the age of 29, Nancy became the then-youngest Black woman to launch a product line at Sephora, and the brand has gone on to win dozens of awards for innovation, including the most Allure Best of Beauty Awards in the prestige hair care space.

“I’ve always been a relentlessly optimistic person. I truly believe anything is possible if you’re willing to work toward accomplishing a goal.”

In 2022, less than 10 years after launch, Nancy sold Briogeo to Wella Company. While Nancy continues in her role as Founder & CEO of Briogeo globally, she is now evolving once again, harnessing the power of her business expertise and life experience to enrich the lives of her community.

By providing meaningful connections to information, tools and resources, Nancy is helping to open up a world of possibilities for others—and to empower everyone to create a life well lived.
