L’Oréal USA has announced that Karen Fondu, president of L’Oréal USA, will retire, following a remarkable 37-year career at L’Oréal.
Fondu is credited for having been a prime figure in leading L’Oréal’s growth and success in the U.S. market. In 1979, she began her L’Oréal career as a sales representative selling hair colorants. In 1992, she became VP sales of L’Oréal cosmetics division, which included L’Oréal Paris and later, Maybelline; and in 2002, she became president, Maybelline New York/Garnier, and then president of L’Oréal Paris USA in 2008.
Ikdeep Singh will replace Fondu as general manager for L’Oréal Paris USA. He has served as the president of L’Oréal Canada’s Consumer Products Division since 2014, prior to which he held key roles at P&G.
