Image Skincare appoints new CEO

Image Skincare has appointed Sennen Pamich, former president of Wella Company Americas, as CEO, effective May 2023.

Pamich brings more than 30 years of experience in the consumer packaged and luxury goods industries to Image, as well as a long track record of success scaling private-equity-backed and omni-channel businesses.

Prior to serving at Wella Company, the world’s second largest retail hair colour and professional beauty company, Pamich was senior vice president of COTY Professional Beauty, North America.

Before that, he served as global president Portfolio Brands and global president Revlon Salon Division for Revlon Inc., where he played a key role in both the integration of Elizabeth Arden as well as the company’s successful acquisition of the Colomer Group.

Pamich has also previously held executive and leadership roles at “esteemed” global beauty and healthcare brands including BVLGARI, Johnson & Johnson, and Procter & Gamble.

Image Skincare stated that his “deep expertise” driving revenue growth at multi-billion-dollar beauty and wellness companies, decades of proven leadership skills, and significant strategic insights will help “to accelerate Image’s growth and reinforce its position as an industry leader in the highly competitive skincare market”.

Pamich said: “I am thrilled to join Image at this important point in the Company’s evolution. Image’s commitment to providing professional-grade skincare products that not only meet customers’ needs but also are backed by clinically proven results have cemented the Company as a skincare market leader. I look forward to working closely with my talented Image colleagues to continue to drive innovation and scale our professional products and treatment offerings.”

Image Skincare founder and chairwoman, Janna Ronert, added: “Sennen has a strong track record of developing world class organisations and scaling global enterprises, and will be a great cultural champion of Image.”

Steven Loeffler, principal at MidOcean Partners, a middle-market private equity firm and majority owner of Image, concluded: “We are pleased to welcome Sennen to Image. Sennen’s extensive experience in the beauty sector, including in both the professional channel and skincare broadly, combined with his deep understanding of consumer preferences and market trends, make him the ideal fit to propel Image through its next phase of growth.

“With Sennen at the helm, we believe Image will be able to leverage its cutting edge clinical formulations, high-performance products and ingredients, and leading position in the professional skincare market to further accelerate on the attractive opportunities that exist in the market today.”
