Show Notes

In this new episode Steven sits down with the CEO and Co-Founder of DECIEM and The Ordinary, Nicola Kilner.
Nicola began her career as a business-management student at Nottingham Trent University, where her sponsored work program with the pharmacy chain Boots led to her becoming one of the company’s youngest buyers. In 2011, she met Brandon Truaxe who would found and launch DECIEM in 2013, with Nicola serving as brand director. DECIEM was a skin-care company made up of 10 different brands, the most popular was ‘The Ordinary’, which was launched in 2013. After Brandon’s struggles with mental health crises, Nicola became DECIEM’s Chief Executive in 2018.
In this conversation Nicola and Steven discuss topics, such as:
Managing an organisation through the Covid-19 pandemic
Recovering from the death of a founder and honouring their memory
Juggling pregnancy, motherhood and being a CEO
Making a company feel more like a family than a business
The skills she implements as a leader and CEO
