Nancy Mahon is recognized for her work in corporate sustainability, social impact, and environmental responsibility. After graduating magna cum laude from Yale University, Mahon attended New York University School of Law, where she served as editor of the Law Review and was a Root-Tilden Scholar. Before entering the corporate sector, she clerked for two federal judges and worked as director of research, policy and planning for the Osbourne Association. Philanthropist George Soros later named her founding director of the Open Society Institute Center on Crime, Communities and Culture. Mahon also served as executive director of God's Love We Deliver, a New York City-based organization providing nutrition to individuals living with HIV and other illnesses.
Mahon joined Estée Lauder as vice president of MAC Cosmetics and executive director of the MAC AIDS Fund, later holding roles including senior vice president for philanthropy and social initiatives. She led cause-marketing programs for brands such as Bobbi Brown, Jo Malone London, La Mer, and MAC. During her tenure, Mahon directed the MAC Viva Glam campaign, scaling it to raise more than $60 million annually and $500 million over its history. She also expanded the "Back to MAC" packaging take-back program globally. Her leadership in HIV/AIDS philanthropy led to her appointment as chair of the President's Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS.
Mahon was appointed The Estée Lauder Companies' first chief sustainability officer, following her role as senior vice president, global corporate citizenship and sustainability. She joined the executive leadership team, focusing on the strategic integration and implementation of sustainability initiatives and overseeing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting. Under Mahon's leadership, Estée Lauder advanced practices in climate action and human capital, achieving milestones recognized by indices such as MSCI and SASB. Her work includes launching a Responsible Store Design Program to reduce waste, single-use plastics, and water consumption.
