Chantecaille Has a New CEO

Chantecaille has a new chief executive officer.

The Beiersorf-owned skin care brand has tapped Tennille Kopiasz for the top job, effective Wednesday. Most recently Kopiasz held the same role at Blue Mistral, the Cornell Capital-backed portfolio of Frédéric Fekkai’s namesake hair brand as well as Bastide.

Prior to that she held a slew of roles at LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, including senior vice president of marketing at Dior North America and after that, global chief marketing officer of Fresh.

“Tennille’s exceptional track record of leading, building and scaling beauty brands is exactly what Chantecaille needs in its new CEO to guide the brand into its next chapter,” said Oswald Barckhahn, Chantecaille’s executive board member, to whom New York-based Kopiasz will report, in a statement. “Her deep understanding of luxury and purpose-driven leadership aligns seamlessly with Chantecaille’s values and Beiersdorf’s vision to be the best skin care company in the world.”

Beiersdorf, the parent company of La Prairie, Nivea and Eucerin, among others, bought the brand in 2021. Sales at that time were said to be north of $100 million, and the deal was thought to value the business between $590 million and $690 million. Its product offering is comprised of skin care and makeup products that focus on botanical ingredients.

“I’ve long admired Chantecaille as a brand with a strong heritage and meaningful philanthropy,” Kopiasz said in the statement. “It’s a true honor to work with this talented team to build on this legacy and continue to accelerate the business through elevated product and experiences, digital transformation and support the global commercial operations.”
