Fabian T Garcia

Fabian was appointed president and a member of the leadership executive team of Unilever North America in late 2019. Formerly, he was president and CEO of Revlon, and COO for Colgate Palmolive, He previously was SVP of international operations at Timberland Co. and president of a unit of Chanel. He currently serves on the Council of Foreign Affairs. Retail veteran Garcia became the new face of Revlon in 2016, taking over the chief executive post from Lorenzo Delpani, who remains on the board. Garcia's impressive resume includes senior posts at Colgate-Palmolive (where he was most recently COO, global innovation and growth), P&G, Chanel and Timberland. The change came shortly after Ron Perelman, chairman and majority owner of the cosmetics maker, said he would seek "strategic alternatives" for the company, which has battled competition via retailers like Sephora and slower sales in emerging markets. With a new CEO at the helm, an immediate move to sell the company seems less likely, though Perelman's goal in the long run might still be to beautify the company for potential buyers.
