Hi, I'm Emanuel Perdis. I'm a counsellor, coach, and educator.
Emanuel is an inspiring, passionate and seasoned counsellor, coach and educator, who started out as an instrumental figure – involved from the outset – in starting and growing the global Napoleon Perdis make-up phenomenon.
He served as the Co-founder and Managing Director of the Australian-owned Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics company for over 25 years. During his tenure, the $110M company boasted over 90 Concept Stores, 100 Napoleon Perdis Department Store counters, as well as over 750 salon and pharmacy stockists of the brand across Australia.
Emanuel now dedicates his time to giving back through counselling, coaching and educating. His innovative and inspiring approach to all three of these overlapping sectors has infused him with profound purpose, passion and expertise.
