L’Oréal East Africa managing director
Patricia Ithau is set to leave the French make-up firm at the end of
this month after a three-year stint at the helm.
Ms
Ithau will be replaced on July 1 by Philippe D’Have, currently the
L’Oréal business development director for sub-Saharan Africa. Mr D’Have
is a Belgian national.
Changes at the Paris-based
company’s Nairobi office come a year after L’Oréal acquired the health
and beauty business of Kenyan-owned Interconsumer Products, in a deal
estimated at Sh3 billion.
The changes were announced by
Geoff Skingsley, L’Oréal executive vice president in charge of Africa
and Middle East, in an internal memo to staff.
“With
Patricia leaving us in June, Philippe is managing the handover and will
take over full responsibility for East Africa from July 1, reporting to
me,” said Mr Skingsley in a memo seen by the Business Daily.
