Gold Coast Woman Named 2026 Emerging Brand Partner of the Year at the Direct Selling Australia (DSA) Industry Awards

MONAT Global

GOLD COAST, Australia, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What started with sharing hair and beauty products she loved on social media has grown into a thriving business and a new career for Gold Coast entrepreneur Renee Boluch-Skwierczynski.

The 32-year-old former Beauty Therapist has been named 2026 Emerging Brand Partner of the Year at the Direct Selling Australia (DSA) Industry Awards, recognising her exceptional early achievement, leadership, and contribution to the evolving world of entrepreneurship.

Renee joined hair and beauty brand MONAT Global in September 2023 with no previous experience in the industry. In less than three years, Renee has built a thriving business and full-time entrepreneurial career. She has established herself as a leading voice within MONAT, particularly in social media and content creation, while mentoring and training other entrepreneurs in Australia and internationally.

Rather than relying on one-off sponsored posts or paid content, Renee has built her business through ongoing customer relationships and community. Social media is how she connects with people, but her business goes beyond content to educating customers, building lasting relationships, and mentoring other entrepreneurs.

“Renee represents a new generation of entrepreneur,” said Jen Usher, Vice President, MONAT Asia Pacific. “She has embraced the way consumers discover, connect with, and shop for products today. What makes her achievement so impressive is not just the results, but the authentic way she has built them.”

For Renee, the award represents more than a business milestone.

“When I joined MONAT, I was just looking for a way to make a little extra income,” said Renee. “I never imagined that sharing products I loved on Instagram would lead to a business, beautiful friendships, and a completely new direction for my life. I’m incredibly grateful for the people who have supported me and for the opportunity to help others believe they can create something for themselves too.”
