It’s time to meet the top boss at Birchbox UK – our lovely Managing Director Maria Trokoudes. She ensures we all work hard… and then arranges our team visits to the pub. Team-building at its finest! Find out more about her below…
- Name/Title: Maria Trokoudes / MD
- Unofficial Role: Pub night organiser!
- Hometown: Nicosia, Cyprus. Sun and sea!
- Office Catchphrase: “Why?” or “Just figure it out.”
- Fun Fact: I own a lot of Halloween costumes!
- Beauty Confession: I exfoliate every night. It’s my little before-sleep ritual. It clears my mind as well as my skin, and I tend to come up with new ideas to solve problems while I exfoliate

.- Currently Loving: Gerda Spillmann Bio-Fond Cream Foundation – our latest Swiss discovery at Birchbox HQ, and a well-kept secret amongst Hollywood make-up artists: Not only does it blend well, but it also smells divine!
- Worth The Splurge: Shiseido Pureness Pore Minimizing Cooling Essence – it works! I’m amazed every time I use it
- Go-To Make-Up Look: Gerda Spillmann foundation, and Stila Stay All Day Lipstick with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil, and NARS Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara.
- Favourite Food: Peanut Butter M&Ms (this counts as food, no?).
- Favourite Film: Love Actually – sorry, I know it’s cheesy, but I can’t help it. It’s the only film I can watch over and over again. Hugh helps!
Stay tuned to meet more of the team in upcoming weeks, and look back at past Team Introductions right here!
