Ladies Who Launch

Ep 34: From Bank Job to Beauty Mogul: How Mona Kattan Built a Fragrance Empire


Listen Later

Mona Kattan - entrepreneur, fragrance fanatic, and founder of Kayali - joins us for an unfiltered conversation on building a beauty business with soul. In this episode, Mona shares how she went from working in finance to launching one of the fastest-growing perfume brands in the world.


We dive deep into her founder journey: the early scrappy days, launching Kayali before the fragrance boom, scaling with limited resources, and what it really takes to lead a brand with clarity, emotion, and conviction. Mona opens up about family dynamics, therapy, building her team, and why obsession is the secret to success.


Whether you’re a beauty lover, aspiring founder, or creative entrepreneur, this episode is packed with insights on product development, brand storytelling, and staying resilient through it all.
