Peter Jueptner, Group President, International, To Leave The Estée Lauder Companies

Press Release

The Estée Lauder Companies announced that Peter Jueptner, Group President, International, has made the decision to step down from his role as of April 1, 2025, and to leave the company effective June 30, 2025.

“Over the course of his impressive career with us, Peter has been one of the key architects of The Estée Lauder Companies, helping to expand our brand portfolio, grow our global footprint, and enhance the ways we work together across teams and geographies to serve our global consumers,” said William P. Lauder, Chair of the Board of Directors. “His combination of strategic expertise and commercial acumen has left an indelible imprint on the enterprise.”

Peter joined The Estée Lauder Companies in 2009 as Senior Vice President, Strategy, New Business Development and Transformation Initiatives. In this role, he created many of the structures, frameworks, and strategic principles that guided the company through a period of extraordinary growth. He also helped to shape the Company’s portfolio through strategic M&A, leading on numerous brand acquisitions including Le Labo, KILIAN PARIS, Dr.Jart+, and Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle.

In 2016, Peter was promoted to President, EMEA and relocated to Paris to lead the Company's most culturally and economically complex multi-market region. During his tenure, Peter was a transformative leader, encouraging affiliates to leverage our full portfolio of brands to win with a broad range of consumers. This led to numerous instances of growth and prestige beauty share gain in many markets and channels. He also ably led the region during the most challenged times of the pandemic.

In 2022, Peter was promoted to Group President, International, expanding the commercial principles he used to transform EMEA to a worldwide scale. In the face of considerable headwinds, Peter began the crucial transformation of the global commercial organization that continues today, as we evolve into a more agile organization able to respond with focus and precision to consumer needs across geographies and channels.

Throughout his career with the Company, Peter has been deeply committed to fostering talent and promoting a culture of diversity, inclusivity, and equity. An energetic and inspiring leader, Peter's team-building abilities and close partnerships with executives across the enterprise have fueled the success of the Company’s International business.

“Peter has made many essential contributions to shaping and growing our business worldwide during his sixteen years with The Estée Lauder Companies,” said Stéphane de La Faverie, President and CEO. “I want to personally wish him the best on his next chapter. His legacy of growth, innovation, and strategic leadership, as well as his passion for nurturing and developing talent, will continue to inspire us for years to come.”
