Founder

Christina
Michaelides

For over 15 years I have worked within the beauty and fragrance industry, helping brands establish meaningful retail partnerships and achieve sustainable commercial growth in the UK.

Over the last 8 years I have specialised in niche fragrance, developing strong relationships across the UK's leading department stores, specialist perfumeries and key industry partners.

Through Leto Brands I work directly with founder-led brands to provide strategic guidance, commercial representation and retail development support.
