Sephora has announced its succession plan for the chief financial officer role in its US business. Delphine Herve, who joined Sephora in 2014 and is currently the beauty retailer’s senior vice president, finance and analysis, is set to move into the position in April 2025.

Le Boterff joined Sephora in 2017, and will remain in his role until Herve begins. His prior roles at LVMH include CFO at Benefit Cosmetics, Celine, and Givenchy and COO at Bliss. Prior to joining the luxury conglomerate, he held positions at IBM, Lagardere Groupe and Bally.

Herve’s tenure at Sephora parent company LVMH began in 2011 with an audit role at Moët Hennessey. She previously worked at Ernst & Young.

This is just the latest executive move for Sephora in recent months: In April, Jean-André Rougeot, Sephora North America’s chief executive and president retired, and was succeeded by Artemis Patrick, another longtime Sephora executive.
