In his much-anticipated memoir, The Company I Keep: My Life in
Beauty, Chairman Emeritus and former CEO of The Estee Lauder
Companies Leonard A. Lauder shares the business and life lessons he
learned as well as the adventures he had while helping transform
the mom-and-pop business his mother founded in 1946 in the family
kitchen into the beloved brand and ultimately into the iconic
global prestige beauty company it is today. In its infancy in the
1940s and 50s, the company comprised a handful of products, sold
under a single brand in just a few prestigious department stores
across the United States. Today, The Estee Lauder Companies
constitutes one of the world's leading manufacturers and marketers
of prestige skin care, makeup, fragrance and hair care products. It
comprises more than 25 brands, whose products are sold in over 150
countries and territories. This growth and success was led by
Leonard A. Lauder, Estee Lauder's oldest son, who envisioned and
effected this expansion during a remarkable 60-year tenure,
including leading the company as CEO and Chairman. In this
captivating personal account complete with great stories as only he
can tell them, Mr. Lauder, now known as The Estee Lauder Companies'
"Chief Teaching Officer," reflects on his childhood, growing up
during the Great Depression, the vibrant decades of the post-World
War II boom, and his work growing the company into the beauty
powerhouse it is today. Mr. Lauder pays loving tribute to his
mother Estee Lauder, its eponymous founder, and to the employees of
the company, both past and present, while sharing inside stories
about the company, including tales of cutthroat rivalry with
Charles Revson of Revlon and others. The book offers keen insights
on honing ambition, leveraging success, learning from mistakes, and
growing an international company in an age of economic turbulence,
uncertainty, and fierce competition.
