THE WHAT? Charlotte Tilbury chief executive Demetra Pinsent is exiting the beauty brand after 14 years at the helm.

THE DETAILS Pinsent, who has led Charlotte Tilbury since its launch in 2012, announced her departure internally, with her final day set for February 26, 2026. A company spokesperson confirmed she is leaving to “pursue new opportunities.” No successor has yet been named. Founder Charlotte Tilbury will continue to lead the brand creatively and commercially in her roles as president, chairman and chief creative officer.

During Pinsent’s tenure, the brand grew from a startup into a billion-dollar global beauty business. In 2020, Charlotte Tilbury was acquired by Spanish group Puig, which is set to assume full ownership by 2030.

THE WHY? Pinsent’s departure marks a significant leadership transition for the brand as it continues its integration within Puig’s portfolio and navigates its next phase of global growth.
