The chief executive of beauty retailer Revolution Beauty is departing.
Revolution Beauty chief executive Lauren Brindley will stand down from her role and as a board member on May 31, 2025.
Brindley is exiting the business to head to rival beauty specialist Ulta Beauty where she will take on the role of chief merchandising and digital officer.
Revolution Beauty said today in a statement that non-executive director Colin Henry will take on the role of chief executive on an interim basis until a successor is appointed.
Henry has been a non-exec at the beauty retailer since August 2023 and has held leadership roles at Jaeger, Nike, Umbro, Polo Ralph Lauren and M&S during his career. He is also currently a non-executive director at fashion chain New Look.
Brindley said of her departure: “It has been a privilege to lead Revolution Beauty and our brilliant team. This is a business with unique capabilities, a loyal customer base and now a compelling strategy for future growth.
“I am confident that the focus on the Masterbrand and our core portfolio of products will continue to deliver benefits and I look forward to following the Group’s success in the future.”
Revolution Beauty chair Alistair McGeorge said: “On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Lauren for her considerable contribution to Revolution Beauty. We now have a clear strategy, a stronger management team, more efficient operations, and a sustainable financial model.
“Lauren leaves the Group well-placed for future success and we wish her all the best in her new role. Colin’s time on the Board, which played a key role in defining the Group’s new strategy, and his significant sector experience mean he is very well suited to take up the position of interim CEO.”
A process to name a new permanent CEO is underway at Revolution Beauty and Brindley is expected to work alongside Henry in the lead up to her departure to ensure a “seamless transition”.
