​🌟 What do Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and TikTok’s #BeautyTok have in common?

​Join us for a thought-provoking session with Bea Asavajaru, global beauty executive and Sloan Fellow at Stanford GSB, as we explore how beauty ideals have evolved—from Renaissance masterpieces to algorithm-driven social feeds. With over 15 years of experience leading strategy for iconic brands like Shiseido and Pond’s, Bea brings a unique lens to the intersection of art, culture, and tech.

​Expect a whirlwind tour through five centuries of shifting beauty standards, a few AI filters, and fresh insights on how we can all redefine beauty—online and off. 🌟
