Jenni Baden HowardTo say Blooming Brands’ CEO Brianne Price is a multitasker would be an understatement. At CEW today, we talk to the executive whose career journey has taken her from sales at The Oneida Group to marketing at Brand Castle LLC–and beyond. Today, Price’s role is multifaceted as the Chief Revenue Officer of Blooming Brands, a California-based company under private equity firm West Lane Capital, which owns Mented Cosmetics, Beauty Bakerie, Seven Hair Care, and Arete. She also serves as President of Blue Cross Nail Care and Blossom Beauty, which are within the Blooming portfolio, writes CEW reporter Kavita Daswani, who asks Price how she does it in our special feature.
CEW is also confirming that Stéphane de La Faverie will be The Estée Lauder Companies’ new CEO, and that William P. Lauder is departing as Executive Chairman. The grandson of company founder Estée Lauder will relinquish his role on November 8 while remaining Chair of the Board. “This decision comes as the Lauder family evolves their long-standing day-to-day management of the company and reflects a desire to focus more on the overall strategic direction of Estée Lauder,” stated Lauder and Fabrizio Freda in a memo to staff reported by the Financial Times.
