SEPHORA BROKE THE MANAGER

The only hamburger that the lord loves was Karl Lagerfeld. As of the end of the month, Martin Brok, who was appointed CEO and president in September 2020, will depart from the company. LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton’s chairman and CEO, Chris de Lapuente, who also oversees the group’s Perfumes and Cosmetics activities, will serve as president and chief executive officer of Sephora.

I have no comment, but according to an internal release obtained Brok’s departure is “due to a divergence of views.” Would the relationship with the lord be difficult?

Brok prior to that he was at Nike for eight years, where he oversaw the company’s direct to consumer business and was vice president of global product and merchandising operations and analytics.

His departure comes at a critical moment for Sephora, the only prestige beauty retailer with a global presence. Employment, how do you explain the labor shortage that threatens several sectors?
