US. The Estée Lauder Companies has confirmed that Jane Lauder has been named Senior Vice President, General Manager of Origins, effective 1 July.
She will report to Jane Hertzmark Hudis, President, who overseas BeautyBank and Ojon, and who now will add Origins to her portfolio.
Lauder has been Senior Vice President, Global Marketing for Clinique since July 2006. In this role she has been responsible for the brand’s overall strategic marketing and positioning, including developing products and expanding the brand into new channels and categories globally.
According to the company, Lauder was instrumental in a number of Clinique’s recent successes, including the launches of Acne Solutions and Almost Powder Makeup, which used innovative multi-media marketing and distribution approaches, and Clinique’s February debut on QVC, which broke the channel’s previous sales records.
As a member of Clinique’s senior management team, Lauder also helped develop a line of doctor-distributed products created in collaboration with Allergan that is expected to be available later this year.
Prior to joining Clinique, Lauder was Vice President, Marketing for BeautyBank, where she spearheaded the creation and launch of the American Beauty and Flirt! brands. She oversaw their positioning, product development and creative direction.
“Jane is an extremely innovative marketer and talented business leader,” noted The Estée Lauder Companies CEO William P. Lauder. “Her strong management skills, coupled with her deep understanding of the dynamic global retail environment, will be hugely valuable as she leads and grows the Origins brand around the world.”
“I am thrilled to be joining the Origins team,” commented Ms Lauder. “This is a brand I’ve admired since its creation in 1990 when it debuted as the first prestige beauty brand to combine the best of science and nature.
“Origins has a strong history of innovation and I look forward to working closely with its terrific team to build and grow this important brand globally.”
A graduate of Stanford University, Ms Lauder joined The Estée Lauder Companies in 1996 after working in the advertising industry. She is a granddaughter of the founder and namesake of The Estée Lauder Companies.
