Powering ambitious female leadership with Medik8

From quadrupling sales in under five years to building a leadership team where women set the pace, Medik8’s story is about much more than high growth. Backed by Inflexion and now majority owned by L’Oréal, Medik8 is a live case study in what happens when ambition, culture and opportunity align.

In this special International Women’s Day episode, Inflexion Managing Director Freddy West speaks with Medik8 Chief Financial Officer Lilia Santos and Chief People Officer Aimee Campbell about what it really takes to scale a PE backed business at speed while creating an environment where talented women thrive. They explore how Medik8 tripled headcount, maintained its culture through rapid international expansion, and fostered a leadership culture that enables women to thrive, rooted in values, flexibility and trust. Lilia and Aimee also reflect on navigating private equity as female leaders, managing energy rather than time, and using their positions to open doors for the next generation.⭐
