David has spent more than 28 years at L’Oréal in leadership roles across markets, divisions, brands and functions—including his most recent role, President of L’Oréal Professional Products Division in North America.

Over his career, David has also been involved in the identification, integration and global expansion of many of L’Oréal’s American brand acquisitions, including Pulp Riot, NYX, Essie and Matrix. Known for his ability to build highly-engaged teams, David was Chief Human Resources Officer in 2005 under then-L’Oréal USA CEOs Jean-Paul Agon and Laurent Attal. David also spent four successful years at L’Oréal Mexico as head of the Consumer Products Division.

He is a successful team builder. I am very proud to name the first American to head the North America Zone and to join our Group’s Executive Committee. North America Zone is one of our biggest engines of growth and David is the right person to take our team and business to new heights.”

“I [also] take the opportunity to warmly thank Stéphane for his significant contributions to L’Oréal during the last 20 years, notably in China and lately in the USA, where he leaves a very strong team that will continue to drive our success in North America,” said Nicolas.
