About Caitie
Caitie Mace has spent the last decade leading international growth for some of the most influential names in beauty and wellness—from independent category-shapers to global giants. She’s worked on the inside, as Director of International Business Development at L’Oréal, and alongside fast-growing brands as a trusted strategic partner.
Her superpower? Making global feel less abstract. Running your commercial operations, cross-functional timelines, and team organization with ease, so your in-market international teams are not spending their evenings problem solving on zoom with your brand team.
Caitie brings both the high-level perspective of an executive and the practical know-how of someone who’s run P&Ls, built international teams, and navigated real-world market launches. She helps brands integrate international strategy into the core of their business—with structure,and results that hold up under scrutiny. Her work adds capacity, not distraction—so your team can stay focused on what they do best, while international is handled with confidence.
She works with brands of all sizes, but is especially drawn to founders and operators who are serious about building something that lasts. Whether you’re just starting to think beyond borders or you’re already live in multiple markets, Caitie brings the structure, clarity, and human touch to help global expansion feel purposeful.

What We Do
Through Away Game Consultancy, Caitie helps beauty brands go international in a way that’s integrated, strategic, and set up to last. That means building thoughtful expansion plans, sourcing and managing high-performing country teams, and ensuring that what’s happening globally is fully tied back to the core business. She bridges the common disconnect between HQ and the rest of the world—so founders aren’t blindsided, teams aren’t operating on islands, and investors see a story worth buying into.
She’s not here to replace your consultants or your local teams—she’s here to make them work better together. She creates the connective tissue between global ambition and operational reality.n
