MIAMI, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Global Wellness Summit(TM) (GWS), renowned as the premier gathering of international leaders in the $5.6 trillion global wellness economy, today announced the appointment of Jessica Jesse, founder, CEO and creative director of BUDHAGIRL(R), to the distinguished list of business leaders who serve as GWS advisors.

"Jessica's innovative approach to wellness and mindfulness has established her as a change agent and her successful transition from the fashion world to the wellness industry has been truly inspiring," said Susie Ellis, GWS chair and CEO. "A true creative powerhouse, we look forward to having Jessica's entrepreneurial, 'can-do' spirit as part of our Advisory Board. Her longstanding support of the Summit as well as the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), and her unwavering commitment to driving meaningful change in the wellness industry is profound."
BUDHAGIRL and its iconic All Weather Bangles have had a wide-reaching, global impact since their launch in 2013. The company represents "mindful glamour," exemplifying the importance of ritual in daily life, blending contemplative practice with evidence-based science and has, ultimately, become a thriving and growing brand that prioritizes its customers' wellbeing.
"Joining the GWS Advisory Board is a privilege and a joy," said Jesse. "It provides a unique opportunity to collaborate with visionaries in the wellness industry, drive impactful change, and shape a healthier, more sustainable future for all. As a past Advisory Board member of GWS's nonprofit sister organization, the Global Wellness Institute, I'm excited to contribute my insights and passion to this transformative journey once again."
Jesse continued: "My first immersive introduction to GWS was at the Mexico City Summit in 2015. I was captured by its mission of promoting evidence-based wellness across every sector. Today, with all the 'noise' around wellness, I feel that the GWS's mission is more relevant than ever, as is the strategic and thoughtful guidance it offers to business leaders."
Under Jesse's leadership, BUDHAGIRL is now branching out into new markets, such as sparkling wine, tea, eyewear, beauty, and events, expanding its reach and influence. In an age where wellness and mindfulness have taken center stage, Jesse's unique approach—blending contemplative practice with science—has resonated deeply with consumers and pushed boundaries in sectors that may have previously overlooked wellbeing and wellness in product development.
