THE WHAT? Glossier Chief Executive Officer Kyle Leahy will exit her role by the end of 2025 after a three-year tenure.
THE DETAILS Leahy, who succeeded founder Emily Weiss in 2022, led the brand through a period of structural change and retail expansion. During her time as CEO, Glossier entered Sephora in the U.S. and Canada, launched with new global retail partners, and opened additional standalone stores.
She also expanded Glossier’s fragrance category, building on the success of its original scent “You” with new formats and SKUs including body mists. Her departure follows a string of senior exits over the past year, including the brand’s chief commercial officer, chief marketing officer, and creative leadership.
Leahy will retain her board seat through 2026 and is working with the board to identify a successor.
THE WHY? Leahy’s departure comes amid continued shifts in Glossier’s business model, as the brand adapts to a wholesale-driven strategy after years as a DTC pioneer. The leadership transition suggests a new phase of growth and restructuring as the brand continues to evolve in a competitive beauty landscape.
