Revlon has appointed Christopher 'Chris' Peterson to the new role of Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective immediately.
Peterson will be responsible for overseeing the company’s global supply chain, finance and IT functions.
He will report to Fabian Garcia, President & CEO of Revlon.
Prior to joining Revlon, Peterson served in a number of Senior Executive positions at Ralph Lauren, including most recently as its President of Global Brands, a position he held since 2015.
In this role, Peterson was responsible for overseeing Ralph Lauren’s Global Brand Presidents, as well as its Chief Financial Officer, investor relations, information technology and real estate.
From 2014 to 2015, he was Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Financial Officer at Ralph Lauren and joined the company in 2012 as its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Before joining Ralph Lauren, Peterson spent 20 years at P&G in management and financial leadership roles.
Revlon CEO Garcia said: "Chris brings strong financial acumen, operational expertise and decades of experience leading global organizations for consumer and luxury brand companies and will be a tremendous asset to our organization.
“Partnering with our senior executive team, I am confident that Chris will leverage his talents to help us execute our strategy and deliver long-term sustainable growth and profitability.”
Peterson added: “This is a very exciting time to join Revlon, with the recent acquisition of Elizabeth Arden and as the company enhances its position as a global beauty leader.
“I look forward to working with Fabian and Revlon’s leadership team to drive growth and value creation for all stakeholders.”
The announcement is part of Revlon’s continuous senior management reshuffle after its acquisition of Elizabeth Arden last year.
