MPG said Monday that Cleary, most recently president of global fragrances for Elizabeth Arden, brings more than 25 years of sales, marketing, and general management experience and will report to MPG founding partner Marc Greenberger.

Before joining Elizabeth Arden in March 2016, Cleary served as chief executive officer of Illuminage Beauty, a global beauty device company, for more than a year.

“I’m extremely excited to be joining MPG. The company’s impressive capabilities and strong relationships within the industry have been important in helping MPG clients achieve their strategic objectives,” Cleary commented. “I look forward to partnering with the team to drive competitive advantage and profitable growth for our company and clients.”
