Luxury goods group Kering has appointed Thibault Tétrel, who spent more than twenty years with global beauty giant L’Oréal, as sales director of Kering Beauty.

Thibault Tétrel joined the L’Oréal group in 2002 from L’Oréal International, where he was managing director of distribution for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), after working for Moet Hennessy in the UK for three years.

At L’Oréal, Thibault Tétrel was marketing director for L’Oréal Paris in India from 2008 to 2011. He was then general manager of the consumer products division for Lebanon and Jordan, before becoming general manager of travel retail in the Americas for the Giorgio Armani brands and fragrance designers in 2014. He now oversees the commercial operations of Kering Beauty.

Established in early 2023 and headed by Raffaella Cornaggia, formerly at Estée Lauder, Kering Beauty comprises five brands: Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Pomellato and Qeelin. 

The Anglo-French house of exceptional perfumes, Creed, which Kering acquired in October 2023, is in the process of being integrated into Kering Beauty.
