Carol Hamilton, a prominent figure in the beauty industry, is retiring after a 40-year tenure at L'Oréal. During her time at the company, she held various leadership roles, contributing to the growth and success of numerous brands, including L'Oréal Paris and L'Oréal Luxe. Hamilton is known for her strategic vision, business acumen, and commitment to mentorship and talent development. While stepping down from her L'Oréal position, she plans to remain active in the beauty industry, exploring new opportunities and supporting emerging brands.
During the course of her 40-year career there, Hamilton has played a role in almost every area of the business. She joined the consumer products division as a marketing director for L’Oréal Paris in 1984, becoming U.S. brand president in 2000 and then global brand president of what is now the world’s largest beauty brand.
When Hamilton joined L’Oréal Paris, the brand’s sales were about $150 million and it was a force in hair color, but not the other categories. Today, it’s the world’s largest beauty brand with leadership positions in hair care and color, makeup and skin care. Hamilton said that being part of the team that made it the global number one was one of the proudest moments of her career.
Hamilton is also known for championing the development of women, inside and outside of the company. In 2013, she created the Women in Power course in gender equality at L’Oréal with the Harvard Women’s Leadership Board, where she was also chairman of the board from 2018 to 2022. She also developed the L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth philanthropic program, raising funds for ovarian cancer research and for UNICEF.
