THE WHAT? SEMCAP has launched a new Beauty & Wellness investment platform, partnering with industry leader Vasiliki Petrou to lead the strategy.
THE DETAILS The new vertical, SEMCAP Beauty & Wellness, will focus on investing in high-growth brands and technologies across skincare, cosmetics, fragrances, haircare and personalised health solutions. Petrou, founder of Unilever Prestige and former Procter & Gamble executive, brings over 30 years of experience in scaling global beauty brands such as Dermalogica, Tatcha and Paula’s Choice.
