NY-ESTÉE-LAUDER
16.11.2021 13:02:57 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Today, The Estée Lauder Companies (NYSE:EL) (“ELC”) announced that Chris Good, Group President, North America, after nearly 25 years with the company, has made the decision to retire effective June 30, 2022. The successor to Chris’ role will be announced shortly, and Chris will partner closely with this individual to support a smooth and successful transition.
“Chris is a visionary, global leader who is deeply admired at ELC and recognized across the beauty industry worldwide. With his extensive international background, Chris’ leadership agility and deep insights into our diverse markets and consumers around the world have made an indelible impact on our business,” said Fabrizio Freda, President and Chief Executive Officer . “Known for his extraordinary business acumen, ability to build high-performing teams, and his track record of achieving strong results in both nascent and established markets globally, Chris has exemplified a commitment to excellence.”
For the past five years, Chris led ELC’s North America business, a highly complex, competitive, and fast-evolving prestige beauty landscape. He oversaw the region’s pivotal retail and organizational transformation, establishing critical capabilities to drive growth and operational efficiencies.
Additionally, Chris elevated data analytics and insights to unlock new and granular opportunities across brands, consumers, and channels. His expertise in channel strategy has accelerated the online business and strengthened the region’s retail relationships, optimizing brick-and-mortar by prioritizing high-performing doors and specialty-multi, and driving brand-building distribution in freestanding stores and emerging channels through modernized omni-experiences.
Chris consistently transformed the business while running it – pivoting with agility and resilience to accelerate recovery in a dynamic environment, while navigating numerous headwinds in North America. Over the past year and a half, he collaborated with his leadership team to steer the region through the complexities of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as broader macro and social issues, leading with the company’s values and the wellbeing of ELC’s people in mind.
Under Chris’ steady leadership, the North American business returned to growth in fiscal year 2021 and has continued its momentum into the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. To start the new fiscal year, North America delivered strong net sales growth with sales increases across every category. Chris and his leadership team have laid a healthy foundation for long-term, sustainable recovery and growth in North America.
Chris started at ELC in Clinique Marketing in the U.K. and Ireland in 1987. After a period away from the company, where Chris took on senior marketing executive and general management roles for Unilever across Europe, North America and Asia/Pacific, he returned in 2000, as General Manager/Regional Vice President for Clinique, Asia/Pacific, where he helped grow the China and Japan affiliates in their early days. In 2005, he was named General Manager of the recently-established Russian affiliate and in 2008, he became Senior Vice President, Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East, India, and Africa.
Chris was appointed Managing Director, U.K. and Ireland in 2012. While there, he helped pioneer the company’s successful evolution from a traditional department store model into a diversified omnichannel business, leading in brand-building channels such as e/m-commerce and specialty-multi. He was promoted to President, U.K. and Ireland in 2014, and during his tenure, the business generated consistent double-digit, compound annual sales growth and tripled online net sales.
“We are grateful for Chris’ tremendous contributions to our business, and the resolve and dedication he has demonstrated to push boundaries, invent the unexpected and bring the best to ELC and beyond. He has championed our company values and embodied our culture both in the Field and alongside his teams, continuously fueling collaboration and creativity,” said William P. Lauder, Executive Chairman . “Across our global ELC family and the wider industry, Chris has nurtured strong relationships and his hospitable nature, dynamic leadership, and deep retail expertise will be truly missed. On behalf of the company and the Lauder family, I would like to wish Chris the very best in his well-deserved retirement.”

Archer® Proves Purpose-Built AI Beats General-Purpose LLMs on Regulatory Change Management: 95% Verified Accuracy, 80x Faster, 92% Lower Cost30.6.2026 16:13:00 CEST | Press release
In a head-to-head benchmark, a leading general-purpose LLM was confidently wrong 35% of the time on regulatory dates. Archer Evolv™ shipped zero errors. For enterprises deploying AI in compliance, a wrong date is a missed deadline. The more dangerous failure is a wrong answer the model returns with high confidence, one that flows silently into a compliance calendar and is only discovered after the window has passed. Archer® today released results showing purpose-built AI beats a general-purpose large language model (LLM) on regulatory work, and it’s not close. This head-to-head test compared Archer’s purpose-built, vertical-specific AI and proprietary data sets against a leading general-purpose LLM, on a core compliance task: determining the publication, effective and comment-close dates of regulatory documents across six jurisdictions. General-purpose models are a genuine breakthrough, and this is no referendum on their quality. The question Archer set out to answer is narrower and mo

90% of IT Leaders See Gaps in AI Threat Readiness, Lenovo Brings Single Point of Accountability to Cyber Resiliency30.6.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
New end-to-end resilience and managed security offerings help organizations reduce security complexity, cut system downtime by up to 50%, and lower remediation costs by up to 40% by bringing devices, security technologies, expert services, and ecosystem partners together under a single operational model As organizations accelerate AI adoption and digital workplace transformation, many are finding that cyber resilience is undermined not by a lack of security tools, but by growing operational complexity and threat sophistication. According to recent research, 90% of IT leaders acknowledge gaps in their ability to defend against AI-driven threats. While security investments continue to grow, many organizations face a different challenge: fragmented accountability. Security operations remain highly distributed and siloed, making it increasingly difficult to coordinate response efforts, maintain end-to-end business continuity, and recover quickly when incidents occur.

Tacton Launches Portfolio Performance Intelligence to Help Manufacturers Understand Why Products Win30.6.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
New configuration-aware commercial intelligence capability connects customer requirements, configuration decisions, and business outcomes to optimize win rates, margin and product strategy. Tacton, a global leader in Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solutions for manufacturers of complex products, today announced the launch of Portfolio Performance Intelligence, a new analytics capability designed to help manufacturers understand why products win, where margin is created or lost, and which decisions consistently drive successful business outcomes. Manufacturers don't lack data. They lack the context needed to understand why products perform the way they do and why customers choose them. ERP systems show what was sold, CRM platforms track opportunities, and BI tools visualize trends. But when manufacturers try to understand which customer requirements drive demand, which configurations consistently win, or why margins vary across products, regions or segments, the answers are often unclear
