Charisma, intelligence and storytelling are a heady mix. Add kindness and gratitude into the equation, and you have a leader with the ability to move markets and build inspired teams.

Chris sits down with Kelly Kovack to discuss his career path from the retail floor to President of Kiehls, why he walked away from it all in 2017, and why he decided to come back.
