Judy Naake

Business speaker Judy Naake is the world's fake-tan queen, is the marketing expert and entrepreneur behind the St Tropez self tanning brand and has helped to bring fake tan to the masses. A pioneer in the beauty and cosmetics industry Judy Naake is one of the most successful women in British business and boasts celebrities and media royalty amongst her friends and clients, available for hire as a retail and business management speaker. Judy is elegant and insightful, able to walk the tremulous line between commercialism and class, priding herself on her discrete but hugely effective business management and marketing techniques. Beginning her career as a business management speaker when she became the manager for one of the elite David Leiber Health Clubs Judy Naake quickly became involved in beauty and cosmetic product distribution.

Building her expertise over the next few years Judy admits to initially being reluctant to take on the brand that helped her sky rocket into the public eye; upon trying the St Tropez brand however Judy was hooked and began working as the UK’s business speaker and distributor almost immediately. Judy Naake eventually sold her share in the St Tropez brand for an undisclosed but nonetheless sizeable amount and has gone on to work as a business management speaker for a number of other beauty brands, including her own skin and hair care brand Mellor Russell. Outside of cosmetics Judy has also played a vital role in the development of the Airbase Retail brand and is the co-owner of a successful production company.
