Meet the Speakers

Christina Kuklinski | Founder and CEO of KOOK

Christina Kuklinski is the Founder and CEO of KOOK, an ocean-first beauty brand creating high-performance, reef-safe products designed to protect both people and the planet. A Master Scuba Diver with over 200 logged dives, she built KOOK after experiencing firsthand the damage that sun and saltwater cause to hair and skin—and the lack of products that perform without harming marine ecosystems. With a background spanning brand strategy and growth at companies like Edelman, Deloitte Digital, and American Express, Christina brings a data-driven, systems-level approach to building a more responsible beauty industry. Under her leadership, KOOK became a certified B Corp in under a year and donates 5% of revenue to environmental restoration, helping fund thousands of mangroves to date.
