LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is recognizing Nécessaire and CEO & Co-Founder Randi Christiansen as one of the Most Exceptional Entrepreneurs of 2023 at its Builders and Innovators Summit in Healdsburg, California.

Goldman Sachs selected Christiansen from multiple industries to be honored at the two-day event. Nécessaire is a personal care company that leads the way in body care and responsibility. Prior to Nécessaire, Christiansen had a 15-year career at Estee Lauder Companies, where she helped build and scale brands across the portfolio (La Mer, Estee Lauder, ELC Ventures.)

"We are humbled to be recognized by Goldman Sachs for Nécessaire's category-defining work on establishing skincare for the body as well as our stewardship of responsible luxury," said Christiansen. "Our mission is to create a positive environmental impact everywhere we can. While we have accomplished some, we recognize we still have far to go in minimizing our footprint as a business."

"We're delighted to recognize Randi as one of the most exceptional entrepreneurs of 2023," said David Solomon, Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs. "Like everyone in this year's class, Randi has been a visionary in their field, pushing forward innovation and redefining markets.
