On this episode of ITK Radio, a conversation with Ada Polla.
Ada is currently the CEO @ Alchimie Forever.
In 2004, Ada set out to launch her family's Swiss-based skincare line in the US. Today, the brand boasts global visibility and distribution, thanks to her focus and determination, which have yielded double-digit annual growth and garnered her several press-worthy opportunities to communicate her family's knowledge and passion for the science of anti-aging skincare.
In addition to her responsibilities at Alchimie Forever, she still finds time to be involved in several ventures, such as the Washington Spa Alliance and Fashion Group International, where she serves on the board as Founding Member and Treasurer, respectively. In addition, Ada operates on the Editorial Board of GCI Magazine and the HBA Conference Advisory Board.
A native of Switzerland, Ada holds a Bachelor of Arts in political science and art history from Harvard University and an MBA from Georgetown University.
