It's safe to say Tracey Hughes is an industry icon. She has presented on some of the biggest stages and headlined events worldwide, has held positions such as Artistic Director and Global Education Director for other leading professional brands and has won a list of awards too long to mention.
Known as “the educator of the educators”, famed for coaching numerous teams and industry superstars in presentation skills, Hughes has a philosophy of transformation through education. With that, and her impressive résumé of industry accomplishments, she has been named the Vice President of Global Education of L'anza Healing Haircare, heading up the Global Education Team of L'anza Healing Artists.
“Tracey’s depth of experience, technical knowledge and creative vision in the education field is world class," says David Berglass, CEO and President of L’anza. "Her ability, accomplishments, and reputation are truly outstanding. I believe Tracey’s dynamic leadership will take L’anza education to the next level, providing our clients with unparalleled education globally."
An expert in education development and event management, and equally strategic and creative, Hughes will help L'anza develop its education systems, digital assets and brand image. Her proven leadership skills in education curriculum, show management, digital production and business development made her the ideal candidate for this role.

“I am thrilled to align with such an integral company and love the culture within the L’anza tribe," Hughes says. "I’m humbled to be in such an influential position where I can continue to serve our industry whilst growing the brand recognition. Partner this with innovative technology and a rare ideology, and L’ANZA was the perfect fit for me.”
