Jones joined the maker of CoverGirl and Rimmel in 2019 and has been praised for maintaining operations throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

Jones added: "I am very proud of the way the team, one of the strongest I’ve ever worked with, and everyone at Coty has responded to the challenges brought about by the pandemic.
"Coty’s progress toward becoming a more modern and focused business has called for new and innovative approaches. The situation has made us think differently and to be more creative."
The Amsterdam-headquartered brand owner has not confirmed Jones' successor, but instead announced that his role will be divided into two positions: Supply Chain and R&D.
