除了毕业

As vice president of product development global marketing for The Estée Lauder Companies, Light works to determine what product launches are next for her brands.

Light describes herself as a sociologist or anthropologist for beauty. “你学习 the consumer landscape … you have to look at nuances and signals and use this predictive information about what’s going to happen in the future,” she says. 

 And any successful cultural re搜索er has to explore what’s happening outside of 他们自己的环境. “When you're sitting in your office on Fifth Avenue, it’s a very myopic view of the world,” says Light, who’s lost count of the number of countries 她因为工作来拜访我. “Going places and seeing how locals want to appear and make themselves feel beautiful is an unbelievable advantage when studying people—这是我的工作.”
