Armani Beauty Appoints Richard Pinabel as Global Brand President Following Véronique Gautier’s Departure
Armani Beauty, the renowned luxury beauty brand, has named Richard Pinabel as its new Global Brand President. With an extensive 25 years of experience in the beauty industry, Pinabel takes the helm succeeding Véronique Gautier, who recently left the brand after an impressive 13-year tenure.
Véronique Gautier, who joined Armani Beauty in 2010 from Jean Paul Gaultier, where she served as Chair and President for two years, has left an indelible mark on the L’Oréal-owned brand. Prior to her role at Armani, Gautier held prominent positions at Chanel Beauty, Paco Rabanne at Puig, Cartier, and Hermès Parfums.
Expressing her sentiments on this transition, Gautier shared on LinkedIn, “I feel privileged to have driven such iconic brands and talented people in executive functions in the luxury business, and today I am looking forward to this exciting chapter ahead, saying Sì to new beginnings.” She acknowledged the unique experience of taking Armani Beauty to new heights over the past decade and thanked the company’s founder, Giorgio Armani, whom she described as a “legend” and working with him as a “gift.”
As Richard Pinabel assumes the role of Global Brand President, Armani Beauty anticipates his wealth of experience to contribute to the brand’s continued success and innovation in the beauty industry. The transition marks a new chapter for the iconic brand as it looks to build on its legacy under new leadership.
