Joico just announced the retirement of Sara Jones, SVP and General Manager, and the appointment of Melisa Gill who will be replacing her as General Manager effective May 1, 2020.
Sara is retiring after 38 years of dedicated service to the professional beauty industry. She began her beauty career as a hairdresser in 1982, which opened the door to corporate roles in education, sales and marketing.
In addition to leading Joico to become a leading company in the industry with annual, profitable growth, Sara has been a champion for the advancement of the professional beauty industry through her involvement in numerous associations. Her leadership was recognized in 2011 when she was honored with one of the industry’s most prestigious awards, City of Hope’s “Spirit of Life” award.

Melisa has an MBA in marketing from the Schulich School of Business at York University, Toronto, Canada and is fluent in French and English. Melisa will report to Stefan Mund, Regional Head of Henkel Beauty Care, North America.
“We are excited to announce the appointment of Melisa to this new role,” said Stefan. “Melisa is a highly skilled professional, with a proven ability to deliver results and drive sustainable growth.
