Summary

Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, Margaret served as a diplomat in Budapest, and was chief of staff to the US Ambassador to Hungary. While in Budapest she met her husband and co-founder of Omorovicza, Stephen de Heinrich. It was while Margaret took a post in Brussels, as chief of staff to the US Ambassador to the European Union, and Stephen in London, that the idea of starting their own skincare brand came to fruition. Budapest is a city rich in spas and Stephen's family happened to own the beautiful Rácz, which dates back to the 16th century. Stephen and Margaret married in 2005. The following year they launched their company from a tiny office in a beautifully decaying courtyard in Budapest. Today, Omorovicza is sold in some of the world's finest stores - Liberty, Harrods, Neiman Marcus, Lane Crawford - and has a loyal band of fans. Margaret and Stephen run the company while also raising four children and juggling various charity projects (Margaret works with the World Economic Forum's Young Global Leader programme and is a founding member of the British Fashion Council's trust promoting young designers). Margaret is also an enthusiastic art collector, fashionista and enjoys throwing a (virtual) dinner party or two.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support Support the show
