Jane Lauder to Depart Estée Lauder Amid Leadership Changes

Jane Lauder, a key leader at Estée Lauder and granddaughter of the founder, announces her departure from the company as it navigates significant leadership changes. This transition follows CEO Fabrizio Freda’s planned retirement in 2025 and comes amid financial challenges, including a 2% decline in organic sales. Lauder, who has been with the brand since 1996, will remain on the board and serve as an advisor to the new CEO. As Estée Lauder seeks to adapt to market shifts, stakeholders are keenly watching for the next steps in its leadership evolution.
