Andrew Stanleick is entering a new era.
The longtime beauty executive — who’s held high-level positions at L’Oréal, Unilever, Coty, BeautyHealth, and most recently, Kenvue — has now been named managing director and operating partner of Gauge Capital. Starting Monday, Stanleick will lead investments across the consumer sector, partnering with founders and management teams throughout the process. His backed ventures portfolio includes Coco & Eve, Performance Beauty Group and Soleil Collective.
“After spending my career building global consumer brands, this role gives me the opportunity to help build many more. Gauge combines investing with hands-on operating partnership, and that’s exactly where I believe I can add the most value — working alongside founders and management teams to identify exceptional consumer businesses, accelerate growth and create long-term value,” Stanleick said in a statement.
This new chapter comes roughly two years after he signed on as Kenvue Inc.’s president of skin health and beauty in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In this position, he accelerated the growth and expansion of brands such as Neutrogena, Aveeno and OGX in those regions.
Before Kenvue, Stanleick worked as president and CEO of publicly listed BeautyHealth. He also served as executive vice president of Coty Americas, leading the CoverGirl turnaround, and global CEO for the joint venture with Kylie Jenner Beauty, as well as the Kim Kardashian business. Before making his foray into beauty, he acted as president and CEO of Coach, Europe and South Asia and Pacific.
