DAVIDTHURSTON

​

I'm the co-founder and CEO of Danger Jones, a hair color brand that launched in 2023 and is now sold through a distribution network in 43 countries.   Our largest distributor is Cosmo Prof, with over 1400 professional beauty stores in North America.  Danger Jones also has a fashion line and is producing feature length movies.

​

I'm also the Co-Founder and Ex-CEO of Pulp Riot, a professional hair color line that L'Oreal acquired from us in 2018. I continued to serve as the CEO for 3 more years, until I left in June 2021.

​

I also own a salon in Los Angeles called Butterfly Loft, which is home to over 30 professional hairstylists.

​

I'm often invited to give keynote presentations at events. My lectures typically aim to teach and inspire leaders using broadly applicable lessons I've learned on my journey to success, including lessons related to branding, social media, disruption, risk taking, entrepreneurship, and the digital revolution.  My presentations can be tailor made to any industry.

​

I received an Economics degree from UCLA. I live in Los Angeles with my wife and business partner Alexis Thurston, and my two daughters, Bowie and Finley.
