John Paul Mitchell Co-Founder JP DeJoria’s New Health Partnership

John Paul DeJoria, billionaire philanthropist and entrepreneur and founder of hair care empire John Paul Mitchell Systems, has unveiled a new business partnership with plastic surgeon Leif Rogers. The duo has released few details about what’s to come next, however they insist that they share a “commitment to making the world a better place through technology and innovation.”
 
Rogers is an Ivy League graduate, board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He's head of a combined reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery, and non-surgical practice in Beverly Hills, CA. Rogers leads multiple companies, helming the wide-range of experience of 40 employees.
 
Rogers specializes in microsurgical reconstruction of the breast and the latest techniques in facial rejuvenation and body contouring. He also invented an LED light booth that will be offered in one of his practices to promote healing and longevity. The LED light booth reduces time needed per session and is COVID-19 conscious and white papers drove its development and production, according to Rogers.
 
In addition to John Paul Mitchell Systems, DeJoria is also the founder of tequila maker Patrón Spirits Co., which he sold to Bacardi in 2018, marking the the largest sale in spirit history.
 
Philanthropic Spirit
 
DeJoria’s philanthropic resume runs deep.
 
DeJoria, along with Brad Pitt, Richard Branson and the late Nelson Mandela, was a patron of Mineseeker, a nonprofit organization dedicated to seeking solutions to the worldwide problem of landmines. He was honored with the Sustainability Award at Fashion Group International's 25th Annual Night of Stars event and was also inducted as a lifetime member into the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans. He is a strong supporter of Sea Shepherd to save sea life. 
 
In 2010, he founded Grow Appalachia, a non-profit initiative that teaches families in need how to grow, prepare and preserve organic fruits and vegetables in a region with little access to fresh, nutritious food. 
 
DeJoria has also been a featured panel member on Shark Tank, where he served as a mentor and investor for aspiring entrepreneurs.  He offered sound advice to beauty start-ups in this 2017 podcast. 
 
In March of this year, DeJoria’s daughter, Michaeline DeJoria, took over as president of JPMS, as reported by Happi.com
