In the second episode of our Platform Perspectives series, Annie Robertson Hockey, President and Head of Management Consulting at Skytale Group, is joined by Courtney Ellenbogen, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Aesthetic Partners. Together, they explore the business strategies and leadership philosophies shaping the next generation of aesthetics platforms.
Courtney founded Aesthetic Partners in 2018 while earning her MBA at Harvard Business School. Her career spans healthcare investment and operations, with experience at The Carlyle Group, Deutsche Bank, Johnson & Johnson, and the seed venture capital firm Victress Capital. She holds a B.S. in Economics from Duke University and brings a unique perspective to the aesthetics space, informed by years of investing in and supporting healthcare businesses.
In this episode, Courtney shares how Aesthetic Partners was built around a flexible partnership model that allows each acquisition to retain autonomy while contributing to a shared vision.
