Mahisha Dellinger, founder of Curls, has joined the Forbes Business Council, a growth and networking organization for successful business owners and leaders worldwide.

Forbes Business Council is an invitation-only community. The collective was launched in partnership with Forbes and the expert community builders who founded Young Entrepreneur Council.

In Forbes Councils, exceptional business owners and leaders come together with the people and resources that can help them thrive.

Curls is one of the most recognized natural hair care brands in North America, and in the textured hair aisle—and in the multicultural community.

Dellinger was vetted and selected by a review committee based on the depth and diversity of her experience. Criteria for acceptance include a track record of successfully impacting business growth metrics, as well as personal and professional achievements and honors.

“We are honored to welcome Mahisha Dellinger into the community,” said Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes Councils.

Gerber continues, “Our mission with Forbes Councils is to bring together proven leaders from every industry, creating a curated, social capital-driven network that helps every member grow professionally and make an even greater impact on the business world.”

Dellinger will have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with other respected local leaders in a private forum and at members-only events. She will be invited to work with a professional editorial team to share her expert insights in original business articles on Forbes.com, and to contribute to published Q&A panels alongside other experts.

“I am honored to be a part of such a groundbreaking community of talented entrepreneurs, innovators and leaders in the business world,” said Dellinger. 

She adds, “This year marks the 20th Anniversary Year of CURLS and I look forward to offering my knowledge and experience in building a longstanding, successful brand to provide value to my peers and fellow leaders on Forbes’ prestigious Business Council.”

Council members also benefit from exclusive access to vetted business service partners, membership-branded marketing collateral, and the high-touch support of the Forbes Councils member concierge team.
