There has been another big executive change at Sephora North America: Delphine Herve has been named senior vice president and chief financial officer.
Herve joined Sephora in 2014 and has held various finance roles since. She will officially assume her new position in April 2025.
Herve will succeed Christophe Le Boterff, executive vice president and CFO, who will retire in April 2025. Sephora insiders said he has been a pivotal leader since 2017, overseeing financial operations and contributing to Sephora’s growth.
In April, Artemis Patrick was promoted from Sephora North America president to its first woman chief executive officer. She succeeded Jean-André Rougeot, who retired.

“In his time at Sephora, Christophe has helped secure financial operations as well as support the exceptional growth of Sephora’s business,” said Patrick. “I thank him for his priceless contributions to Sephora and wish him all the best in his retirement. At the same time, I could not be more excited to announce the promotion of Delphine to svp, chief financial officer, North America. Delphine is not only highly knowledgeable but also an incredible business partner, and I look forward to working with her in this new role and as a fellow female leader at the helm of Sephora North America.”
Sephora is the largest prestige beauty player in the U.S., with sales of $10 billion. As well as its network of stores, which are getting a big makeover, it’s continuing to expand its partnership with Kohl’s Corp., which began in August 2021. They are in 910 stores, with plans to enter the whole fleet.
“It’s doing incredibly well,” Patrick said in a previous interview with WWD. “We’re on a path to reach $2 billion next year with Sephora inside Kohl’s. We’re adding 140 new doors so by mid next year we’ll be in the whole fleet, which means that we can double up on the marketing.”
