As part of Leadership and Ethics Week 2024, the Student Leadership and Ethics Board of The Bernstein Center for Leadership and Ethics will host a conversation with Futurewise President and Starface President Kara Brothers. The discussion will focus on her leadership skillset that helped her pivot from a successful career in tech at Google, serving as the lead for corporate strategy and strategic partnerships, to serving as SVP and eventually President of Starface. Popular among generation Z, Kara will also talk about her strategic vision that is helping Starface destigmatize acne and transform this once negative and isolating experience into a moment of confidence and self-expression. The discussion will be moderated by Jacqueline Heitkamp '24 EMBA.

This event is sponsored by The Paul M. Montrone Seminar Series on Ethics in partnership with Columbia Beauty Club.
