Today, The Estée Lauder Companies (NYSE:EL) (“ELC”) announced
that Chris Good, Group President, North America, after
nearly 25 years with the company, has made the decision to retire
effective June 30, 2022. The successor to Chris’ role will be
announced shortly, and Chris will partner closely with this
individual to support a smooth and successful transition.
“Chris is a visionary, global leader who is deeply admired at
ELC and recognized across the beauty industry worldwide. With his
extensive international background, Chris’ leadership agility and
deep insights into our diverse markets and consumers around the
world have made an indelible impact on our business,” said
Fabrizio Freda, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Known for his extraordinary business acumen, ability to build
high-performing teams, and his track record of achieving strong
results in both nascent and established markets globally, Chris has
exemplified a commitment to excellence.”
For the past five years, Chris led ELC’s North America business,
a highly complex, competitive, and fast-evolving prestige beauty
landscape. He oversaw the region’s pivotal retail and
organizational transformation, establishing critical capabilities
to drive growth and operational efficiencies.
Additionally, Chris elevated data analytics and insights to
unlock new and granular opportunities across brands, consumers, and
channels. His expertise in channel strategy has accelerated the
online business and strengthened the region’s retail relationships,
optimizing brick-and-mortar by prioritizing high-performing doors
and specialty-multi, and driving brand-building distribution in
freestanding stores and emerging channels through modernized
omni-experiences.
Chris consistently transformed the business while running it –
pivoting with agility and resilience to accelerate recovery in a
dynamic environment, while navigating numerous headwinds in North
America. Over the past year and a half, he collaborated with his
leadership team to steer the region through the complexities of the
COVID-19 pandemic, as well as broader macro and social issues,
leading with the company’s values and the wellbeing of ELC’s people
in mind.
Under Chris’ steady leadership, the North American business
returned to growth in fiscal year 2021 and has continued its
momentum into the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. To start the
new fiscal year, North America delivered strong net sales growth
with sales increases across every category. Chris and his
leadership team have laid a healthy foundation for long-term,
sustainable recovery and growth in North America.
Chris started at ELC in Clinique Marketing in the U.K. and
Ireland in 1987. After a period away from the company, where Chris
took on senior marketing executive and general management roles for
Unilever across Europe, North America and Asia/Pacific, he returned
in 2000, as General Manager/Regional Vice President for Clinique,
Asia/Pacific, where he helped grow the China and Japan affiliates
in their early days. In 2005, he was named General Manager of the
recently-established Russian affiliate and in 2008, he became
Senior Vice President, Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East,
India, and Africa.
Chris was appointed Managing Director, U.K. and Ireland in 2012.
While there, he helped pioneer the company’s successful evolution
from a traditional department store model into a diversified
omnichannel business, leading in brand-building channels such as
e/m-commerce and specialty-multi. He was promoted to President,
U.K. and Ireland in 2014, and during his tenure, the business
generated consistent double-digit, compound annual sales growth and
tripled online net sales.
“We are grateful for Chris’ tremendous contributions to our
business, and the resolve and dedication he has demonstrated to
push boundaries, invent the unexpected and bring the best to ELC
and beyond. He has championed our company values and embodied our
culture both in the Field and alongside his teams, continuously
fueling collaboration and creativity,” said William P. Lauder,
Executive Chairman. “Across our global ELC family and the wider
industry, Chris has nurtured strong relationships and his
hospitable nature, dynamic leadership, and deep retail expertise
will be truly missed. On behalf of the company and the Lauder
family, I would like to wish Chris the very best in his
well-deserved retirement.”
