At Coca-Cola, Schwartz created the multi-billion-dollar Coke Zero brand, at L’Oréal he launched the iconic ‘Because You’re Worth it’ strapline, and at Pandora he led the transition from stores to e-commerce, resulting in a 300 per cent increase in share price.
At The Body Shop he created the ground-breaking and highly successful vegan ranges, persuaded authorities around the world to protect endangered strips of rainforest and travelled to the Amazon to source new ingredients and protect biodiversity by creating an income for local indigenous groups.
He is now encouraging ambitious businesses to adopt his purpose-driven business and leadership methods.
Wade joined the world’s largest hotel chain, Best Western as marketing director at the beginning of the financial crisis. Transforming the brand, he helped deliver double digit growth year-on-year.
