Juice Beauty The OG of the Clean, Natural, Organic Beauty Movement
Karen Behnke has enjoyed a long and successful entrepreneurial career in the Health & Wellness Industry. Her consistent goal is to equally marry her passion for helping people enjoy healthier lifestyles with her skill at building financially successful businesses that are mission driven. Juice Beauty (as noted by Forbes, Cosmo, ELLE, etc.) is the “OG” - original green – beauty brand and leading the way in the clean beauty industry. The Company philosophy centers around strong commitments to vegan, cruelty-free, sustainability, certified organic ingredients, wellness and their unique Farm to Beauty approach.
Prior to founding Juice Beauty, from 1996-2003, Karen led the Healthy Lifestyle investment strategy for two private equity firms, including a firm that was the majority shareholder of a major fitness chain, where she was a Board of Director and an Operating Executive during a seven-year growth period, from $75 mm to over $1 billion in revenue.
From 1983-1996, Karen founded PacifiCare Wellness Company (formerly known as Execu-Fit Health Programs) in San Francisco, one of the first corporate wellness companies in the country. The company delivered worksite medical fitness screenings, health risk appraisals, and fitness programs, for major corporations. The wellness company grew to provide services to over 2 million members in six states.
Karen graduated from Western Michigan University and completed Harvard/MIT’s multi-year Executive Business Summer School “Giants” program. She has received many awards throughout her career including Goldman Sachs 100 Most Innovative Entrepreneurs (2019 & 2018); Woman Entrepreneur of the Year (2011); the “Top Eco-Leader” named by Glamour Magazine (2009); San Francisco Woman Entrepreneur of the Year (1987); the San Francisco Examiner’s Top 39 Movers and Shakers; and the WMU Distinguished Alumni Award.
