As Chief Communications Officer and Chief of Staff at Catalyst, she helps shape the vision, voice, and strategy of one of the world’s leading organizations advancing women and inclusive workplaces. Trenesa spent 25+ years in luxury beauty, fashion and retail, including 14 years at The Estée Lauder Companies, launching and building a global portfolio of skincare, beauty, and haircare brands across markets worldwide.

She co-founded a groundbreaking initiative with CoverGirl to serve African American consumers when the industry wasn’t yet asking the question. She negotiated directly with indigenous palm oil farmers in Honduras on behalf of a prestige haircare brand.
At Saks Global, she helped lead a landmark collaboration with First Nations communities, including a ceremonial unceded land acknowledgment gift supported by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in alignment with Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation initiative. That journey, from the frontlines of one of the world’s most aspirational industries to the current work of workplace equity, informs everything she brings to Catalyst, where she helps elevate CEO Jennifer McCollum’s newly launched book Men at Work: The Roadmap to Gender Partnership. Like the MenCare Changemaker Journey, Men at Work challenges narrow definitions of who gets to lead, who gets to care, and what real partnership looks like in practice. As one of Equimundo’s 100 Changemakers, Trenesa is honored to stand with a global community committed to making caring manhood the new normal. Her core belief: real progress happens when we invite people into the work of change with authenticity, accountability, and courage.
