The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (NYSE: EL) today announced that
Tracey T. Travis, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, has decided to retire, effective June 30, 2025, after more
than twelve years of exemplary leadership and service at the
company. A successor for the CFO role has been identified and will
be named in the coming weeks. Tracey will work closely with this
person to ensure a smooth and successful transition.
“Tracey has been an invaluable business partner and a trusted
advisor to me, our executives and Board of Directors, as well as a
mentor and role model to many across our organization,” said
Fabrizio Freda, President and Chief Executive Officer. “She has
built and led a robust, integrated Global Finance & Strategy
organization that has served as a valued business partner across
the company and has helped to optimize delivery of our financial
plans. Her financial acumen, discipline, and operational excellence
have been essential to our company’s growth, and so many areas of
our organization have her valuable imprint on them.”
Since joining The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC), Tracey has led
the company’s Global Finance, Accounting, Tax, Treasury, Investor
Relations, Information Technology, and Strategy and New Business
Development organizations. Tracey has also co-led the company’s
Global Value Council and served as a member of the Executive
Leadership Team and the Investment Development Committee. Tracey
has also been a respected and engaging leader in her extensive work
with our global investor community.
Under her guidance, the company has enhanced its financial
strength and flexibility, enabling us to further invest in our
long-term growth drivers, such as innovation, digital
transformation, emerging markets, talent development, and M&A
strategy. Additionally, Tracey has played a pivotal role in leading
and advancing the financial profile of our global brand
portfolio.
Over the last twelve years, Tracey built a robust, integrated
Global Finance & Strategy (F&S) organization at ELC that
serves as a valued business partner across the company, with a
particular focus on cultivating talent across the organization to
bring new perspectives to the finance function. Under her
leadership, F&S has provided financial guidance throughout the
enterprise while maximizing business and transformational
opportunities, optimizing the capital structure, and supporting
brand growth strategies and cash management. Tracey leaves the
F&S function a transformed organization.
Together with ELC’s senior leadership, Tracey has deeply
embedded the company’s corporate strategy throughout the
organization, solidifying core planning processes with an emphasis
on executional excellence. Working alongside senior leadership,
Tracey and her team have implemented and driven a progressive
end-to-end M&A strategy and value-driven empowerment and
integration, including many important strategic acquisitions and
investments such as DECIEM and TOM FORD. Tracey has also led the
New Incubation Ventures (NIV) team to enable the sourcing,
building, and growth of the brands and business models of
tomorrow.
Tracey has helped further improve and elevate the company’s
Information Technology function, strengthening its competitive edge
through investments in areas such as digital tech centers around
the world, embodying ELC’s global approach to technology management
and innovation and enhancing the diversity of its capabilities.
Tracey also served as an instrumental leader in establishing the
company’s shared services capability to support the business and
its growth.
Tracey played a critical role in strengthening talent
development and engagement by developing and growing ELC’s Finance
& Strategy Leadership Development Program (FASLEAP), and
guiding the function’s approach to identifying, training, and
placing top talent. Tracey has also been a committed Global
Executive Sponsor of the Women’s Leadership Network (WLN) employee
resource group (ERG), where she helped further a culture of
recognizing women as pioneers in the beauty industry and
highlighting their creativity and ingenuity in shaping trends and
redefining standards. She has been a passionate advocate for the
company’s efforts across philanthropy, citizenship and
sustainability, and inclusion, diversity and equity, including by
championing initiatives to advance racial equity and representation
within the company and the beauty industry.
“An inspiring and visionary leader, Tracey has been deeply
committed to exemplifying our values throughout her years of
dedicated service to our company,” said William P. Lauder,
Executive Chairman. “Tracey has had a remarkable impact on driving
our business forward by leading our portfolio strategy, but also by
developing our talent, cultivating a culture of inclusion and
continued learning, and advancing initiatives to foster a more
diverse and equitable workplace and marketplace.”
Tracey has been honored with numerous industry awards and
accolades throughout her distinguished career. She received a Best
CFO award by Institutional Investor magazine, was recognized as one
of the “Top 100 African Americans in Corporate America,” as well as
“The Most Powerful Women in Corporate America” by Black Enterprise
