Currently leading NEST New York, a private equity–owned global fragrance lifestyle brand, Edgar brings decades of international leadership experience across three continents. His career includes senior leadership roles at iconic companies such as Coty, Juicy Couture, and L’Oréal, where he built a reputation for driving growth and reinvention in highly competitive markets.
