Williamson also has a long history with Revlon. From 2001 to 2015, she worked as part of both Revlon’s Global and U.S. Marketing teams across all color cosmetics categories. Williamson led a number of functions and teams including the Revlon Brand Communication Strategy; the Retail Merchandising Team, where she rolled out a globally consistent merchandising strategy across all global markets; and the Walmart Marketing team, where she helped develop the strategy to make Walmart a dependable beauty destination. In her most recent role at Revlon, she was the SVP of Global Marketing.

Commenting on today’s announcement, Debra Perelman, Revlon’s President and CEO, said: “Martine brings to Revlon decades of experience across the beauty industry and we are very pleased to welcome her back to the Revlon family. As we enter 2021, Martine will be an important addition to our team and will be a critical part of executing against our long-term strategy.”

“I am excited to be rejoining Revlon as CMO, particularly at such a unique and challenging time for the industry,” said Williamson. “Revlon is extremely well-positioned to achieve its strategic goals, and I look forward to working with Debbie and the entire team to strengthen Revlon’s leadership in the global beauty market.”
