Christine Dagousset, the worldwide open innovation officer of Chanel, has left the corporate, WWD has learned.

Dagousset, who couldn’t be reached for comment, is a beauty industry veteran who joined the corporate in 1998 as senior vice chairman of world skincare, and quickly rose through the ranks. In 2014, she was named global president of the fragrances and sweetness division, a position she held for 4 years before being named global long-term development officer.  In that role, she developed and implemented long-term business initiatives and built innovation capabilities for Chanel, including minority investments. She sits on the boards of Olaplex and Evolved by Nature.

Neither Chanel nor Dagousset could possibly be reached for comment.

Chanel landed at No. 8 on Beauty Inc’s most up-to-date Top 100 list of the most important manufacturers in the wonder industry, with greater than $7 billion in sales for 2022. Sales during calendar 2022 were propelled by fragrance and makeup, in addition to the launch of N°1 de Chanel, a skin care-heavy lineup based on the camellia flower that accommodates 97 percent natural ingredients and features eco-designed packaging.

The Beauty Inc Top 100 for 2023 will appear within the April issue of Beauty Inc.
