Suzi Weiss-Fischmann

Co-Founder & Brand Ambassador OPI Products Inc.

Known worldwide as the “First Lady of Nails,” OPI Co-Founder & Brand Ambassador Suzi Weiss-Fischmann initially made her mark on the beauty industry in 1989, when she created the first 30 OPI nail lacquers. She also pioneered the development of OPI partnerships, elevating consumers’ overall brand experience. She has been featured in numerous magazines and has appeared on top television programs.

Born in Communist Hungary to Holocaust survivors, Suzi immigrated to Israel before settling in the U.S. She shares her Jewish journey believing that a human connection and ongoing education will help reverse rising anti-Semitism and hatred. She encourages her family to do the same by talking about her parents and their generation.

Suzi places a strong emphasis on philanthropic contributions through her Fischmann Family Foundation — “Tzedakah is part of my life and who I am,” she says. She serves on the Board of Directors of the Abraham Joshua Heschel Day School, the Board of Trustees of Jewish Women International (JWI), and is actively involved with the USC Shoah Foundation.

Suzi lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children.
