TORONTO, Nov. 3, 2022 /CNW/ - Sephora Canada announced Thomas Haupt as its new Country General Manager, effective November 1st, 2022. Haupt joins the leading omni-beauty retailer from within the LVMH family, where he worked for the Louis Vuitton organization in the United States for six years.
A seasoned retail executive with over 20 years of experience, Haupt will oversee the Sephora Canada leadership team as the beauty retailer continues to enhance its omni-retail experience and expand its presence in the Canadian market. Haupt's announcement coincides with the forthcoming milestone opening of Sephora's 100th store location in Canada.

He replaces the outgoing General Manager, Gregory Bruyer, who held the leadership position at Sephora Canada for two and a half years. In his new role, Haupt will report directly to Jean-André Rougeot, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sephora Americas.
