TORONTO — Sephora Canada has chosen Thomas Haupt to be its new country general manager.
The personal care and beauty product retailer says Haupt joins the company from within the LVMH family, where he worked for the Louis Vuitton organization in the United States for six years.
A seasoned retail executive with over 20 years of experience, Haupt will oversee the Sephora Canada leadership team as the beauty retailer continues to develop its omni-retail experience and expand its presence in the Canadian market. Haupt’s announcement coincides with the opening of Sephora’s 100th store location in Canada.
“I have long admired Sephora’s trailblazing and purpose-driven approach to beauty retail, alongside its commitment to championing beauty for all,” said Haupt in a statement.
“I’m thrilled and humbled to be able to lead such an impressive team and look forward to supporting our growth, innovation and success at Sephora Canada.”
Haupt has spent his career developing mass consumer and luxury brands including Vince, Ermenegildo Zegna Group, and Gap Inc. He is taking over this position after former general manager, Gregory Bruyer, who held the leadership position at Sephora Canada for two and a half years. In his new role, Haupt will report directly to Jean-André Rougeot, president and chief executive officer of Sephora Americas.
