Peter Jueptner, group president, international, The Estée Lauder Companies, will step down from his role as of April 1, 2025, and to leave the company effective June 30, 2025.

“Over the course of his impressive career with us, Peter has been one of the key architects of The Estée Lauder Companies, helping to expand our brand portfolio, grow our global footprint and enhance the ways we work together across teams and geographies to serve our global consumers,” said William P. Lauder, chair of the board of directors. “His combination of strategic expertise and commercial acumen has left an indelible imprint on the enterprise.”

Peter joined The Estée Lauder Companies in 2009 as senior vice president, strategy, new business development and transformation initiatives. In this role, he created many of the structures, frameworks and strategic principles that guided the company through a period of extraordinary growth. He also helped to shape the Company’s portfolio through strategic M&A, leading on numerous brand acquisitions including Le Labo, Kilian Paris, Dr.Jart+ and Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle.

In 2016, Peter was promoted to president, EMEA and relocated to Paris to lead the company’s most culturally and economically complex multi-market region. During his tenure, Jueptner encouraged affiliates to leverage the company’s portfolio of brands to win with a broad range of consumers. This led to numerous instances of growth and prestige beauty share gain in many markets and channels. He also ably led the region during the most challenged times of the pandemic.
