Jeremy Schwartz
Former CEO & MD of Coca-Cola, L'Oreal, Pandora and The Body Shop

Renowned for fusing sustainability with commerciality, Jeremy Schwartz is an expert in innovation, management and sustainability having held senior roles at some of the world’s biggest brands including Coca-Cola and L’Oréal. As a speaker, he offers businesses the opportunity to improve their brand, while putting sustainability and innovation at the heart of what they do. Jeremy’s insightful speeches shed light on how organisations can put the protection of the environment at the core of their operations without forfeiting profitability.

Jeremy graduated from the University of Cambridge after completing a degree at the University of Sheffield. He then moved into the world of business and was named Marketing Director of L’Oréal in 1992. During his five years with the health care brand, he relaunched the ‘Because I’m worth it’ slogan and established it worldwide. In 1997 he became Director of Innovation and Marketing at Coca-Cola. While in this position he created Coke Black, which over time has evolved to be Coca-Cola Zero and became a $1billion product. Jeremy’s career continued to progress and in 2002 he was tasked with halting a 10-year decline as Director of Brand Marketing at Sainsbury’s. Tackling the challenge head-on he delivered a 5% growth in sales for the 2005 financial year and set the platform for the business to experience 20 continuous quarters of growth and recruit six million new customers.

Continuing in the food industry, he became the CEO of The Sauce Co. He achieved award-winning success as the company was the Best New Supermarket Brand and Best Chilled Soup in the Supermarket Quality Food Awards, Winner of the Grocer. Branded Excellence Award. He held this role while holding a position on the Board of Trustees of The Against Malaria Foundation. Over 10 years after leaving the company he became Managing Director of L’Oréal. Again, as he has done throughout his career Jeremy experienced great success. He drove the company forward to become the number one cosmetic company in the UK after 30 years of being number two or three. He has also been the CEO of The Body Shop, where he launched the Enrich Not Exploit campaign, the companies promise to support a greener more sustainable planet. He was also largely responsible for making 100% of the products vegan, creating incomes for indigenous people and protecting endangered rainforests. The success of the business saw it win the World Retail Awards for Responsible Retailer. In 2018 he was named Joint CEO of Pandora and oversaw a £145million cost-saving programme and boosted the brand’s sales. More recently he became the Chairman of Sustainability and Inclusion at Kantar, Senior Advisor for McKinsey Business Transformation and Non-Executive Director of Revolution Beauty.
