“From day one, JPMS was committed to being a conscious company, it’s just in our ethos,” said Michaeline DeJoria, John Paul Mitchell Systems CEO. “We are grateful to have Sean join the JPMS family and to share his experiences to help guide our future initiatives, so that our portfolio of brands continues to evolve and ultimately we become a leader in the sustainability space.”
