Jose Manuel Albesa Named Puig CEO

Jose Manuel Albesa becomes CEO to lead Puig’s strategic vision and M&A focus while Marc Puig transitions to executive chairman, with 72% of 2025 revenue from fragrance and fashion.

  • On March 17, Puig named Jose Manuel Albesa chief executive officer effective immediately and Marc Puig moved to executive chairman as the board separated the chairman and CEO roles.
  • After years of succession talks, the Puig board said it was the right time to split chairman and CEO roles, opening a new governance chapter as Marc Puig said it was time to 'pass the baton.'
  • Albesa, a 1998 hire who became deputy CEO and beauty and fashion president in September 2025, now assumes full responsibility and will be proposed for the board in May.
  • Alongside the CEO change, the group states that Marc Puig will focus on M&A and strategic alignment, working with Albesa to support key appointments and uphold family values.
  • The leadership change comes after results showing Puig's 2025 results: net sales 5.04 billion, net profit 594 million, and like‑for‑like growth of 7.8%, with Albesa credited for transforming major fragrance brands.
