THE DETAILS Having joined the company in 1995, Toulemonde has held positions in the luxe, consumer and travel retail sectors of L’Oréal, and will succeed Gretchen Saegh.
Fair will be replacing Toulemonde, and has most recently served as General Manager of SkinCeuticals, before which she worked on Garnier Skincare and Maybelline.
