Sephora President and CEO Martin Brok is leaving the company at the end of the month. According to an internal memo, Brok's departure is “due to a divergence of views.”

Brok spent less than two years at Sephora. He joined the company in September 2020, after serving as president of Starbuck's EMEA region. Prior to that he was at Nike for eight years, where he oversaw the company’s direct to consumer business and was vice president of global product and merchandising operations and analytics.

Brok's replacement is Chris de Lapuente, the chairman and chief executive officer of the selective retailing division of LVMH Moet Hennessy • Louis Vuitton. Lapuente is no stranger to Sephora, having led the retailer for a decade. LVMH Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault has credited de Lapuente with turning Sephora into a “global leader in prestige beauty retailing, recognized around the world as one of the most innovative brands in products and services, both in store and online.”
