BUILDING AN EMPIRE
Emanuel Perdis is the Managing Director and cofounder of Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics, Australia’s most successful premium cosmetics brand. He has overseen and implemented double-digit business growth for the Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics brand year on year for the past fourteen years and been an integral part of the global growth of the brand. He takes great pride in having the highest staff retention rates for any business in the retail and cosmetics industry in Australia and currently manages more than 420 staff.
RAGS TO RUNWAY
His story begins as the youngest born from a traditional Greek family and Emanuel grew up in the Western suburbs of Sydney. Developing through his student years, Emanuel flourished in his final years at school and went on to complete a Bachelors in Business from UWS. The entrepreneurial and creative spirit of Emanuel and brother Napoleon first created Alpha Omega – a marketing consultancy to boutique retail clients. However, Napoleon’s passion for cosmetics moved the duo to start Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics and in 1995 the first concept store was opened in Paddington, Sydney. Today Emanuel directs the operations of Australia’s most successful international cosmetics brand. Napoleon Perdis has 74 stand-alone concept stores and over 1000 point-ofsale locations including David Jones and Target across Australia and New Zealand. In the United States, the brand has 2 Napoleon Perdis stores and is stocked in over 400 Ulta stores, over 1,800 Target stores and over 100 independent stockists.
The building of a family cosmetic empire is an exciting and riveting story to which Emanuel and Brother Napoleon complement each other perfectly.
