Business career

Schwartz began his career working at Boston Consulting Group in 1987. [6]

In 1993, he joined L’Oréal, [1] becoming overall marketing director in 1995. [7]

From 2002 to 2005, Schwartz was brand director at Sainsbury's. [7] [8]

Schwartz was CEO and chairman of The Body Shop from 2013 to 2018. [9]

For eight months in 2018-2019, Schwartz was COO of Pandora (not CEO as erroneously claimed on his LinkedIn). [10]

As of 2021, he is chairman for Sustainable Transformation at Kantar. [11]

On 18 September 2024, Coca-Cola filed a claim in court against Schwartz related to Intellectual Property, notably passing off and trade marks. [12] Schwartz did not “invent Coca-Cola Zero,” as previously claimed, and is now saying that he “introduced” it which is more in line with what someone in his marketing role might do.
