At a time when both the beauty market and Coty are rapidly transforming, these directors bring valuable new perspectives alongside proven expertise in prestige fragrance, global brand building, portfolio transformation and financial discipline. Together with our existing board, they will further sharpen our strategic focus, strengthen execution and drive sustainable value for our shareholders.” Current directors Strobel, Joachim Creus, Frank Engelen and Patricia Capel will remain on the board. Following his appointment to serve as president of consumer beauty at Coty, Gordon von Bretten has decided to step down from its board. Beatrice Ballini, Isabelle Parize and Anna Adeola Makanju have resigned from the board effective immediately, while Robert Singer has resigned from the board effective June 30. “I want to thank Bob, Beatrice, Isabelle, Anna, and Gordon for their service and contributions as directors of the board during a period of significant change for Coty,” added Strobel. “Their counsel and partnership have been valuable as we strengthened the company’s financial position and advanced our strategic priorities.”, Coty Curated, detailing a plan for sharper priorities, more focused investments, improved execution, and increased support behind its core businesses. “It’s very clear to me that Coty has many top-notch assets and competitive advantages: highly attractive brands, best-in-class fragrance innovation capabilities, a vertically integrated business model, and a creative, entrepreneurial organization,” said Strobel in February. “At the same time, our financial performance over the past year-and-a-half has been disappointing, and our current share price reflects that reality. Both things are true: Coty has outstanding assets and capabilities, yet we have not been delivering at the level we should.” For the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, ended Dec. 31, Coty’s net revenue was $1.7 billion, up 1 percent from a year earlier.
