In these times of constant change and challenge, Michael can claim what very few others can: dot com success. Pre-SGC, as Chief Operating Officer of Gloss.com, the beauty internet company he co-founded in 1999, Michael developed the company's organizational structure and managed day-to-day operations, including 80-plus employees. His clear, strategic thinking not only helped establish the company's vision and mission, but also turned it into a thriving business.

She spent 12 years as Senior Vice President/General Manager of Bijan Fragances, Inc., and as a founder of its subsidiary Xel, Inc., was the driving force behind the introduction of the Michael Jordan Fragrances, executing the most successful launch in men's fragrance history.
