Direction

Marie Farel, President

After joining the Prestilux family in 2012, Marie Farel has held several roles in the company before owner Nina Dyson, appointed Marie as President, in 2021. Marie succeeded François Carlier, after working alongside him for many years as the Vice-President of Marketing and Strategy, as well as the Strategic Advisor to the President.

Marie honed her expertise working with renowned companies including Maison Cartier (Groupe Richemont), Shiseido UK Co. Ltd., and Decléor & Carita (now L’Oréal), in countries ranging from the United Kingdom, France and eventually Canada. Due to the breadth of these past experiences, Marie has gained a thorough understanding of the international beauty landscape.

Over and above her professional strengths and abilities, Marie is a passionate woman, driven by a creative spirit. These traits undoubtedly stem from her ten years of dedication to classical dance that ultimately led to the professional stage. The level of discipline and perseverance that the art of dance demands is visible within Marie’s personality, as well the vision she brings to the company she now leads. Being attuned to the dynamics of a demanding industry requires more than just a sense of rhythm. Underpinned by the company’s values, Marie understands the sequence of steps that will guide the brands, represented by Prestilux, to a clear and lasting success.
