The luxury division of global beauty giant L’Oréal, featuring brands like Lancôme and Yves
Saint Laurent, has reshuffled its senior management in Italy, putting Emmanuel Goulin at the helm. Goulin, formerly the general manager of L’Oréal’s travel retail division for Asia-Pacific, has been appointed general manager of the group's luxury division in Italy, replacing Luca Guillot Boschetti, who has left L’Oréal.
Goulin joined L’Oréal 21 years ago as product manager for Lancôme in the UK. Over the years, he assumed increasingly high-level posts, and between 2012 and 2016 he was general manager of fragrances for L’Oréal’s luxury division in France. He was then appointed general manager of L’Oréal’s travel retail division for Asia-Pacific. The latter post has now been taken over by Tao Zhang, who joined the L’Oréal group in 2000. Goulin is now also a member of L'Oréal Italy's executive committee, led by president François-Xavier Fenart.
In H1 2021, the L’Oréal group's revenue increased by 16% to €15.2 billion, exceeding the levels reached before the Covid-19 pandemic.
