Revlon, Inc.’s Board of Directors elected David L. Kennedy as a director and as president and chief executive officer. He succeeds Jack Stahl, who is leaving the company to pursue other interests. Mr. Kennedy is currently Revlon's executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer. While Mr. Kennedy's appointment is effective immediately, Mr. Stahl has agreed to stay on as an advisor for 30 days to ensure a smooth transition to the new leadership. Mr. Kennedy said, "I believe strongly in Revlon and its future. The company has a strong product portfolio with exceptional brand equity. While we have a great deal of work to do, I look forward to the opportunity to help Revlon fulfill its tremendous potential." Mr. Kennedy, 59, joined Revlon in 2002 as executive vice president and president of Revlon International. Earlier this year he was appointed chief financial officer of Revlon, Inc. and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation.
