MIAMI, FL UNITED STATES, February 11, 2026/EINPresswire.com/ — Ponce Aurora announced today the appointment of Hélène Roth-Bergman as Chief Business and Commercial Officer. Ms. Bergman is a globally experienced luxury and beauty executive leader who has led growth, brand development, and market expansion for some of the world’s most prestigious houses, including Hermès, Estée Lauder Companies, Coty Group, and LVMH group. Over the course of her career, she has held senior leadership roles across the Americas, Europe, and emerging markets, with deep expertise spanning fragrance, beauty, skincare and prestige consumer brands. Most recently, she served as Managing Director and General Manager of Hermès Perfumes & Beauty Americas, where she oversaw regional strategy, brand expansion, and organizational scale during a period of strong growth. 

Hélène brings a rare combination of global brand stewardship, commercial rigor, and cultural fluency, and is known for translating brand vision into sustainable, long‑term growth across diverse markets. 

In her role, Ms. Roth-Bergman will lead global commercial strategy, go-to-market execution, and brand expansion as Ponce Aurora prepares for its first consumer launches within the skincare category with YUUTH™, and also a range of functional beverages with MitoX™ – both based on our unique and revolutionary MitoXcel™ Technology developed by Dr. Kevin Slawin.
