The Big Move

Divya Gugnani, CEO and Co-Founder of Wander Beauty, spent nearly 20 years searching for beauty essentials that could keep up with her on-the-go lifestyle. After earning her B.S. from Cornell University and M.B.A. from Harvard Business School, Divya began her career in investment banking at Goldman Sachs before moving on to private equity and venture capital at Investcorp International and FirstMark Capital. A self-proclaimed ‘accidental entrepreneur,’ she later left the finance world after selling her first business, and, bitten by the startup bug, went on to become a serial entrepreneur.

She’s also the co-founder of Wander Beauty, Launched in 2015 with Co-Founder Lindsay Ellingson, Wander Beauty brings effortless everyday essentials TM . Each multitasker is co-created with our community and enriched with clean, globally sourced ingredients that work with your skin, not against it.
