Isabelle Carpentier spent years analyzing luxury and premium brands, including 15 years at Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management, before moving into venture investing at Collateral Good, where she focuses on premium consumer companies and co-founded Beauty Impact Ventures to back cosmetics companies tackling chemical and climate challenges. She's known for a distinct view on luxury as an asset class, comparing high-end watches to real estate, gold, and art, and for spotting the growth of the secondary luxury market early, pointing to Richemont's acquisition of Watchfinder as a sign of things to come.
