Dr. Diana Richardson, known as the Glowgetter Mentor, has built a remarkable career over more than two decades in the beauty, wellbeing, and skincare industry. With her vast knowledge, strong business sense, and dedication to customer service, she has earned recognition as a global leader. Her professional journey has been marked by prestigious awards, international honors, and over 60,000 hours of experience. She has even been nominated for an honorary doctorate in entrepreneurship, a testament to her commitment and influence in her field. Today, Diana is celebrated not only as a mentor but also as a bestselling author and podcast host, helping thousands of professionals through her guidance and expertise.
Her career path began early, shaped by her passion for beauty and wellbeing from childhood. At just nine years old, she worked in a hair salon sweeping floors, and by her teenage years she was already exploring entrepreneurial ventures with makeup and skincare companies. While studying communications with business electives at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, she gained hands-on experience working in prestigious spas. In 2003, she moved to the UK and formally qualified in beauty therapy, later expanding into advanced aesthetics. Over the years, she has started, scaled, and sold several successful businesses. This journey eventually inspired her to focus on coaching and mentoring, helping entrepreneurs and executives worldwide build their own paths to success.
One of her major initiatives, Signature D Ltd, began as a program to help students launch businesses. It later evolved into a mentorship model for beauty professionals, especially during the global pandemic. Diana was even invited to work with the government on regulations for safe business operations, giving her valuable insights into how companies could thrive under challenging conditions. She continues to stress the importance of continuous education, having studied at Oxford University’s Said Business School, Harvard Business School, and Harvard Medical School. Her belief that “the key to success is to keep educating yourself” reflects her lifelong pursuit of learning and her drive to share knowledge with her community.
Her inspiration has always been rooted in a desire to make an impact. She wants to help individuals present the best version of themselves with positivity, passion, and purpose. Her mission is simple yet powerful: to lead, love, and lift others while encouraging innovation, resilience, and alignment between personal values and professional goals. She believes in inspiring leaders to create lives they truly love, align their visions with their values, and prioritize what matters most.
Challenges have also shaped her story. From managing teams and finances to navigating customer demands and technology, she has faced many tests along the way. One of her toughest moments came while writing her second book, when she lost a large portion of her manuscript. Instead of giving up, she took it as a sign to rewrite the book for a different audience. That resilience reflects her approach to obstacles: seeing them as opportunities to learn and grow.
Diana is proud of many achievements, both personal and professional. She values her family deeply, calling her husband and two sons her greatest source of pride. Professionally, she treasures recognition such as the International Top Beauty and Wellbeing Entrepreneur of the Year award and three PHAB Service Stars, which she considers the equivalent of Michelin Stars in her industry. Publishing her bestselling book was another highlight, and she continues to receive global honors, including an upcoming Lifetime Achievement Award in Qatar.
Looking ahead, she sees technology and innovation as vital to the industry’s growth. She is preparing to study AI at Harvard Business School to stay ahead of new trends and tools. Her future goals include publishing more books, creating wellness retreats for female founders, and offering virtual mentoring to reach global audiences.
She is also deeply committed to philanthropy, serving as Chief Philanthropy Officer for Mahila Udyami, a global initiative to empower rural women through education and entrepreneurship. In 2026, she will take part in events at Oxford and Harvard as an ambassador for global skill development.
Through every stage of her journey, Diana Richardson continues to prove that leadership, education, and empowerment can change lives. Her story is one of resilience, growth, and a passion for helping others shine brighter in their personal and professional journeys.
