Marshall joined Skarbek from Reckitt, where she held senior global strategic and operational roles across Consumer Health and Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG).  She is recognised for driving growth, orchestrating transformation, and developing high performance teams. Marshall began her career as a Chartered accountant in M&A at EY.

Pellen has been with Skarbek for over five years following an over 20-year career at Procter & Gamble and Coty as a senior R&D leader.  He brings deep knowledge of the FMCG sector, industry-leading expertise in Beauty Care, and innovation leadership experience in developed and developing markets, including 10 years in Asia with 7 years in China.  He has experience leading and advising companies across industries through strengthening and implementation of strategy, driving innovation and large-scale operational integrations and transformations.

Paul Heugh, founder and former CEO of Skarbek, commented:

"I am delighted to hand over the baton of leadership at Skarbek to two incredibly talented, committed, and proven business leaders who exemplify the ethos of Skarbek.  Since founding the business 13 years ago it has been my enormous privilege to work with our terrific team delivering services to our clients and seeing Skarbek grow into an international brand with global reach and impact."
