About Coty

We’re Coty, one of the world’s largest beauty companies with an iconic portfolio of brands across fragrance, color cosmetics, and skin and body care. Coty is the global leader in fragrance and number three in color cosmetics. Coty’s products are sold in over 150 countries around the world. Coty and its brands are committed to a range of social causes as well as seeking to minimize its impact on the environment through our Beauty That Lasts program.

About the Department

In Consumer Beauty, we are driving the turnaround and value creation of our most iconic brands under the leadership of our CEO Sue Y. Nabi. This transformation effort includes re-centering our innovation and communication program on strong consumer centricity, driving advocacy and influencer marketing programs, and leveraging emergent needs and trends to drive brand value creation. Covergirl, Sally Hansen, adidas, Bruno Banani, Vera Wang Fragrances, David Beckham Beauty, Nautica Beauty, Rimmel, Max Factor, and Bourjois are some of our iconic brands going through our transformation journey and will be pivotal to fuel growth in years to come.

We have rediscovered the primary of our key brands at a global level and put equities in place that are relevant today and future-proofed for tomorrow. We have built far stronger innovation pipelines, and these launches are driving increases in both our penetration and value creation. Through skinification of our products, we are making them more relevant today and providing additional health and wellbeing benefits where relevant. We are building stronger activation plans behind the brands, with superior in-store experiences, extending our physical availabilities, and doubling down on driving digital-first omnichannel. We are increasing our focus on new geographies: LATAM and China are key focus regions for growth.

We are now moving to the next stage of our transformation, which focuses on the turbo drive of our business to both generate scale through penetration growth and build a new global growth pillar for CB, utilizing the resulting incremental profit to fuel growth across the rest of the CB portfolio.
