The Board intends to put in place a permanent CEO who will further accelerate Coty's progress towards its stated strategic priorities of growing power brands across the globe and implementing its global efficiency plans.
This agreement represents a shift in Coty's go-to-market strategy for brands sold through the mass distribution channel in China, by allowing Coty to leverage Li & Fung's broad distribution network in that channel.
Avon's strong direct sales footprint, broad geographic coverage and extensive service model in Brazil will give Brazilian consumers improved access to an expanded portfolio of fragrances.
The new entity will allow Coty to consolidate the distribution of its products and ensure a cohesive marketing strategy throughout the United Arab Emirates.
In addition to naming a Senior Vice President, Global Marketing American Fragrances for Coty Prestige, the company filled the newly created role of Senior Vice President Color Cosmetics, Coty Beauty.
Coty Inc. announced the appointment of Marc Rey as president, Coty Prestige U.S., and regional vice president, Coty Prestige, North America, starting Jan. 2, 2013.
