  • Guest Bio: Colette Courtion has spent more than 12 years working in beauty and with medical aesthetic technologies. But it was her personal experience of becoming a mother, that lead her to start Joylux, an innovative health technology company that provides home-use solutions for women experiencing pelvic floor issues.

    Prior to founding Joylux, Colette was CEO of JeNu, the first home-use anti-aging device using ultra-sound technology. Prior to JeNu, Colette launched Calidora Skin Clinics, a leading anti-aging chain of skin clinics in the NW. Colette began her career in finance at PepsiCo and Maveron (a Seattle venture capital firm) before heading to Starbucks. As a marketing executive for Starbucks, she was responsible for creating and patenting the Duetto Card, named by Business Week as 2003’s Best Product of the Year, while running the largest and most successful retail store value card and loyalty program in the world, the Starbucks Card. She earned a BA in economics from the University of Washington and an MBA from the Graziadio School of Business and Management at Pepperdine University.

    Colette is no wallflower either—Puget Sound Business Journal named her as one of the Top 15 Women of Influence in Seattle (2009) and Top 40 Under 40 leaders in Seattle (2006), and when it comes to philanthropic causes she believes in, Colette will do just about anything…even if it means donning a blue leotard and 6-inch stilettos to impersonate Lady Gaga in front of 500 people at a Plymouth Housing Group event to raise awareness for homelessness in Seattle.
