Lowenthal is a consumer products professional with over twenty-five years of consumer management experience, primarily at Revlon and Playtex. His specific expertise is marketing, managing in financially leveraged situations, and class of trade migrations. Most recently Lowenthal was President of Revlon Europe / Africa / Middle East where he planned and implemented a major "turnaround" in all areas of business activity, resulting in the first significant series of sales increases in a decade and a return to profitability after years of steadily declining earnings.

Before moving to Europe, Mark ran Revlon's mass market domestic HB&A business. Previously Mark was President of Almay Inc., where he led it from being a minor brand into one of the nation's fastest growing cosmetic companies. Sales grew from $20MM to $80MM and profit from a $2MM loss to $10MM per year over four years.
