In March 2000, Pro-Line was acquired by Alberto-Culver. Merging business units under Pro-Line, I was responsible for the P&L for the $140 million division. This responsibility included managing multiple international business offices and business licenses. I managed the world’s #1 leading ethnic salon professional brand, Motions. I grew international distribution to 62 countries with manufacturing facilities in 4 countries. I developed and negotiated licensee relationships in 6 countries.Prior to the acquisition, I lead a high powered management team that transcended Pro-Line Corporation to become the worldwide #2 ethnic beauty care product manufacturer. With Pro-Line, repeated success became the standard for excellence. We created the ethnic children’s hair care category with “Just-for-Me” and to date remains the worldwide category leader, now owned by Unilever. Acquired and developed brands within one of the world’s most difficult, but lucrative hair care market, Brazil. We became recognized as the industry leader in customer service and supply chain excellence.
