R&D Steve Harripersad
At Westwood Labs, innovation begins with a simple belief that science has the power to elevate everyday experiences. As the Vice President of Research & Development, I am honored to lead the teams responsible for transforming that belief into products our customers can trust and love.
For us, R&D is more than formulation, it is imagination, exploration, and purpose. Every idea we pursue starts with a question: How can we make something truly meaningful for the people who use our products? My role is to guide that creative journey, blending breakthrough science with the highest standards of safety, efficacy, quality, and integrity. I am committed to fostering a culture where curiosity thrives and where our chemists, innovators, and technical experts are encouraged to push boundaries thoughtfully and fearlessly. Together, we strive to anticipate future trends, embrace cutting-edge technologies, and continuously refine our craft so we can deliver solutions that set new benchmarks for excellence.
What inspires me most is knowing that each product we develop has the potential to empower, uplift, and enrich someone’s daily life. That purpose fuels every decision we make in R&D. It drives us to remain transparent, responsible, and unwavering in our dedication to producing formulas that are not only effective but also aligned with the values our customers care about.
As VP of R&D at Westwood Labs, coming to work every day is a joy and an exciting challenge. I love what we create together as a team and I am inspired by the unique perspectives every team member contributes.
