Athenique’s founder Vernell Sutherland will be sharing her story Friday.

Vernell Sutherland already had successful careers in education, high-tech, and the law when she discovered her true passion: skincare.

Like most successful entrepreneurs, Vernell founded athenique on a simple brand promise: affordable, clinical, skincare. She opened her first athenique agelessSkin clinic in April 2004 in Carmel, California after two years of planning and market research. The athenique agelessSkin clinic on Bainbridge Island, Washington opened in December 2008.http://www.athenique.com/
