Sephora North America has appointed Delphine Herve as its first female Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Christophe Le Boterff, who will retire in April 2025. Herve, who joined Sephora in 2014 and has held various finance roles since, previously served as Senior Vice President of finance and financial planning and analysis. This transition follows the recent appointment of Artemis Patrick as CEO, marking a significant leadership shift within the company. The Securities and Exchange Commission also recently announced that John Deere agreed to pay nearly $10 million for violations related to bribery through its subsidiary in Thailand. These developments occur amidst a broader retail landscape where brands are adapting to changing consumer behaviors. Sephora remains a leading player in the prestige beauty market, with plans to further expand its retail presence, particularly through partnerships with Kohl's.
