Huda Kattan

A beauty founder operating at platform scale.

Huda crossed from creator into operator without losing the camera-first instinct. The Wishful skincare line is run as a lab-led brand with founder-POV storytelling baked into the launch cadence — not a back-end communications function. Her audience is global; her supply chain is increasingly regional.
