About Renee

I've run sales for the brands. Now I run it for yours.

I'm Renee Keel, founder of Maison d'Emmanuelle. I help emerging beauty and wellness brands get on national shelves without hiring a full-time sales team.

  • Global Director of SalesFrench Girl
  • Senior Director of Sales PlanningKenra Professional
  • FounderMaison d'Emmanuelle, five years and counting

Why I started Maison d'Emmanuelle

[Two or three sentences in Renee's words: why she left in-house sales and started her own firm]

Today I work with founders the way I used to work inside big brands: buyer relationships, distributor partners, and a clear plan for every account. Many of my clients come to me at the very beginning, when the packaging, formula, and price are still being decided. That's my favorite place to start.

I've worked with skincare, makeup, hair, CBD, and candle brands, and I've helped brands sell in the United States, Canada, across Europe, Brazil, Argentina, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Australia.

What it's like to work with me

You get a senior sales lead who knows the buyers, sits in the meetings, and handles the work after the yes: EDI, reorders, and distributor partners. Most brands work with me on an 18-month plan: a monthly retainer plus commission on sales, so I win when you win. Once you're placed, we can switch to a flat retainer with no commission.
