Premium beauty and wellness brand The L’Occitane Group has announced that Laurent Marteau has stepped down from his roles as chief executive officer and a member of the board.
The brand said Marteau’s resignation reflects his desire to focus more on his personal pursuits as well as other business interests.
As a result, the board has established an office of the chief executive whose members will manage the company’s day-to-day operations in the interim.
The office consists of Reinold Geiger, chairman and controlling shareholder of the L’Occitane Group; Samuel Antunes, group chief financial officer; and Ingo Dauer, group general counsel.
L’Occitane said: “The board sincerely thanks Marteau for his service and contribution to the company and wishes him well in his future endeavours.
