Topicals Appoints Sukiana Chancy as New CEO
Skincare brand Topicals has named Sukiana Chancy as its new Chief Executive Officer. Founder Olamide Olowe steps down from the CEO role but will remain involved in daily operations.
Topicals, a skincare brand popular among Gen Z consumers, announced Sukiana Chancy as its new Chief Executive Officer. Chancy assumes leadership from founder Olamide Olowe, who will transition to remain involved in the company's day-to-day operations.
Chancy joins Topicals from Fenty Beauty, where she served as General Manager for its skin, hair, and fragrance divisions. Her background includes experience in building global brands and managing substantial profit-and-loss statements.
Founded in 2020, Topicals focuses on addressing skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, eczema, and acne. The brand has achieved recognition as one of Sephora's fastest-growing skincare lines, with a mission to cater to deeper skin tones often overlooked by the beauty industry.
The company reported a threefold increase in revenue in 2021 and a sales rate of one product per minute in 2022. Following significant venture funding secured by Olowe in 2022, Topicals is now poised for international expansion into the Middle East, Africa, and Europe under Chancy's leadership.
