Synopsis

In his

much-anticipated memoir, The Company I Keep: My Life in

Beauty, Chairman Emeritus and former CEO of The Estée 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 Estée 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, Estée 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 Estée 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

Estée 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.
