Leah Davis is one of those rare marketing executives who has actually done the work across every room she's walked into.
Twenty years. Live entertainment at national scale. Luxury hospitality and immersive dining. Professional beauty. Consumer CPG. Retail distribution across 40+ countries. She has launched 30+ concepts and brands across major markets, built and led marketing organizations of 25+ people, and activated partnerships with some of the most recognized names in the world including Coca-Cola, Netflix, L'Oreal, Ulta Beauty, Live Nation, and Michelin recognized chefs across multiple markets.
Her restaurant and hospitality portfolio includes Hakkasan, Morimoto, Smith & Wollensky, Wahlburgers, Light, Daylight, and Kumi Las Vegas among others.
What makes her different is not just the breadth. It's the depth.
Leah holds an MBA and an MA in Gastronomy with culinary training from Boston University. That credential is not decorative. It means she understands product at a sensory and scientific level, contributes meaningfully to culinary and product development conversations, and brings a research backed point of view to consumer behavior that most marketing executives simply don't have.
Her day to day is not limited to marketing. She works across operations, product development, quality control, distribution strategy, and team leadership simultaneously. She runs the room and then makes the room better.
She is currently VP of Marketing at Betty Dain Creations, leading brand strategy across a six brand professional beauty portfolio sold in 40+ countries with 30 to 38% sustained revenue growth as the result. Before that: Barton G. Allied Integrated Marketing. The Light Group. Live Nation. Two decades of building things worth paying attention to.
Available for VP and CMO level opportunities across beauty, wellness, food and beverage, retail, and consumer brands, as well as select fractional engagements.
