Revolution Beauty CEO Lauren Brindley exits

Revolution Beauty has confirmed the departure of Lauren Brindley as Chief Executive Officer from 31 May 2025.

Brindley joined the company as CEO in September 2023, having previously served as Vice President for Beauty & Personal Care at Walgreens for more than seven years.

Prior to this, she worked for Boots UK as Vice President of Customer Proposition, as well as Head of Prestige Beauty & Fragrance.

She will now take on the new position of Chief Merchandising & Digital Officer at US retail giant Ulta Beauty.

"It has been a privilege to lead Revolution Beauty. This is a business with unique capabilities, a loyal customer base and now a compelling strategy for future growth," said Brindley.

"I am confident the focus on the Masterbrand and our core portfolio of products will continue to deliver benefits and I look forward to following the group's success in the future.

"I am truly honoured to join Ulta Beauty and build upon the company’s exceptional legacy of innovation and impact. I’m thrilled to step into this role and work alongside an incredible leadership team to help shape the next chapter of growth and continue to elevate the beauty experience for guests and partners alike."

Upon Brindley's departure, Colin Henry will become interim CEO. Henry has been a Non-Executive Director of Revolution Beauty since August 2023, and has over 35 years of consumer goods and retail experience from leadership roles at Jaeger, Nike, Umbro, Polo Ralph Lauren and Marks & Spencer.

Brindley will work with Henry to ensure a "seamless" transition, while the process to find a permanent CEO has now commenced and is being led by the Nominations Committee.

Alistair McGeorge, Chairman at Revolution Beauty, said: "On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Lauren for her considerable contribution to Revolution Beauty.

"We now have a clear strategy, a stronger management team, more efficient operations, and a sustainable financial model. Lauren leaves the group well-placed for future success and we wish her all the best in her new role.

"Colin's time on the board, which played a key role in defining the group's new strategy, and his significant sector experience mean he is very well suited to take up the position of interim CEO."
