BYOMA Taps Galderma Executive Tara Loftis as Global President Amid Post-Acquisition Growth Push
Event summary
- BYOMA appoints Tara Loftis as Global President and Chief Brand Officer, its first major executive hire post-acquisition by The Bansk Group in 2025.
- Loftis brings expertise from Galderma (where she led dermatological skincare) and Kendo Brands (LVMH), with a focus on digital-first growth and creator ecosystems.

With $3 billion in assets under management, the brand is poised to compete more directly with industry giants like Galderma and LVMH-backed Kendo Brands. Loftis' track record in blending clinical credibility with digital-first marketing suggests BYOMA aims to disrupt traditional dermatological skincare by merging science with cultural relevance at scale.
