PARIS — More executive changes are afoot in the upper echelon of Douglas, the German premium beauty retailer.
The group has named Philipp Andrée its new chief digital officer.
That news comes less than two weeks after the company announced a new chief executive officer, Sander van der Lann, who has succeeded Tina Müller, as she joined Douglas’ supervisory board.
Andrée is to become the group’s chief digital officer and member of its board starting in January. Douglas’ last chief digital officer was Vanessa Stüzle. She left Douglas at the end of August to become CEO of the Luqom Group.
