Business Wire
Following The Estée Lauder Companies’ acquisition of GLAMGLOW in
January 2015, the Company announced today several leadership
updates, resulting from the brand’s strong success.
Effective October 15, 2016, Beth DiNardo will add oversight of
GLAMGLOW to her responsibilities, assuming the title of Global
Brand President, Smashbox and GLAMGLOW. She will continue to report
directly to John Demsey, Executive Group President, The Estée
Lauder Companies.
Ms. DiNardo is an outstanding leader who is highly-regarded for
her expertise across merchandising, digital and trend leadership.
She has led Smashbox since the Company’s acquisition in 2010, and
has expanded the brand’s global footprint to more than 40 markets.
Smashbox’s continued growth, supported by its strong global team,
has enabled Ms. DiNardo to take on the added responsibility of
leading GLAMGLOW.
Additionally, Paula Pontes will re-join the Company in the role
of Senior Vice President/Global General Manager, GLAMGLOW,
effective November 1, 2016, reporting directly to Ms. DiNardo. Ms.
Pontes will succeed Reinaldo Gonzalez, whose strong leadership and
business acumen accelerated the brand’s global growth and steered
its transition to a sustainable, stand-alone brand within our
portfolio. Mr. Gonzalez’ future plans will be announced at a later
date.
In her new role, Ms. Pontes will be responsible for continuing
to build GLAMGLOW’s global brand equity, developing and executing
the brand strategy, and advancing the global business. She will be
based at GLAMGLOW’s Hollywood headquarters and will work closely
with Glenn and Shannon Dellimore – who will continue in their roles
as GLAMGLOW Founders and Creative Directors – to drive new
development opportunities and relationships in all countries and
channels for the brand.
Ms. Pontes re-joins ELC and brings with her significant
experience in helping to lead California-based brands. She joined
ELC in 2009 and oversaw the diligence process for the Smashbox
acquisition; subsequently, she joined the brand in Los Angeles to
lead its integration and strategy definition process alongside Ms.
DiNardo for two years. She then served as the General Manager of
ELC's Brazil Affiliate, which grew strongly under her leadership.
Ms. Pontes was instrumental in the design and implementation of the
Affiliate's new corporate structure, as well as in expanding the
Affiliate's footprint in secondary cities and ensuring that ELC’s
brands were poised to capture the consumption of the emerging
middle class. Most recently, Paula was the Executive Vice President
of Strategy for Swarovski Consumer Goods Business.
“GLAMGLOW’s move to become a fully integrated brand is an
important milestone for GLAMGLOW and for our Company,” said Mr.
Demsey. “I am confident that Beth and Paula’s strong leadership
capabilities, experience with California-based brands and continued
collaboration with Glenn, Shannon and the entire GLAMGLOW team will
help usher in the brand’s next phase of growth.”
Glenn and Shannon Dellimore added, “Rey has been a great partner
in taking the brand to the next level. Beth and Paula are both
inspiring leaders with incredible creativity and deep affinity for
L.A. culture and Hollywood trends. We are thrilled to have them on
board at GLAMGLOW.”
