Meet the Products Team

Anne Nottoli

My journey in the wellness industry began as a natural products distributor, which eventually led me to the spa world as co-founder of an organic body care product line. In 2010, I used my experience to help both spas and hotels create their own branded products, which offered the perfect blend of strategy and operations. It’s rewarding to work side by side with operators and owners alike, and in 2017 I joined Universal Companies, where I found a platform to share my knowledge and passion for this ever-evolving industry.

Susan Harkins

As a director of sales with Universal Companies for the past five years, I have worked with business types ranging from resort hotel fitness and health to newly developed corporate day spas. My primary focus has been to create and implement business development plans that increase sales, while meeting overall customer needs. As a licensed professional, I understand the spa and salon environment and the complexities of the day-to-day operations. My understanding of product categories has been enriched by having worked in the professional spa and salon industry for more than 25 years.

Valarie Maloff

I have more than 25 years of experience in the spa industry, beginning my career as an esthetician and massage therapist, and then moving to operations and openings. I have had the honor of working at prestigious spas with Omni, Canyon Ranch, and Waldorf Astoria. As a former spa director, I enjoy helping other spas design their retail space so they can maximize ROI.
