Alexandra Trower, executive VP-global communications at Estēe Lauder Cos., is stepping down July 1 after a 13-year run at the New York-based cosmetics giant.
ELC credits her with the launch of a refreshed corporate brand that helped bolster its global reputation.
She championed citizenship & sustainability, DEI efforts and served as the first executive co-sponsor of wELCome, LGBTQA employee resource.
Trower held financial communications posts (senior VP-media relations at Bank of America, managing director at JPMorgan Asset Management and VP-corporate communications at Ivesco) prior to joining ELC.
“Alex has delivered thoughtful, effective communications to our valued stakeholders, strategically elevating our winning business narrative, rich culture, compelling heritage and distinctive ELC brand equity," William Lauder, executive chairman, said in a statement.
Trower’s successor will be named at a later date.
Senior leaders have been exiting newly combined agencies since the wave of integrations started—the kind of departures that don't always make headlines but show up in who's running client accounts six months later.
Why CEO visibility is no longer optional as a communications tactic.
The “waiting period” that was once set aside for CEOs to develop their strategies before facing media scrutiny may be better used for corporate comms leaders get to know their CEO and what his or her short-term priorities will be.
Senior-most communications executives in the Fortune 500 earned between $50,000 and $100,000 more this year than they did two years ago, according to a recent survey of chief communications officers.
