Shiseido announced on Monday the appointment of Alberto Noe to the role of CEO of the Americas, as the Japanese beauty giant reshuffles its leadership amid job cuts.
Noe previously served as interim Americas CEO, after being appointed to the role earlier this year. Noe replaced Ron Gee, who was stepped down from his role as CEO of Americas in April.
A beauty veteran, Noe first joined the Shiseido group in 2013 as president and CEO of Italy. In 2019, he was named chief business officer of the EMEA region, before being appointed deputy managing director EMEA in January 2023. He was named president and CEO of Shiseido EMEA in March 2024, a role he will concurrently hold alongside the Americas region, according to a press release.
Shiseido also said it has promoted Makoto Toyoda to the role of chief information technology officer; Hidefumi Araki has been named global brand and product innovation officer; and Naomi Kawanishi is the new global brand president of Clé de Peau, Shiseido’s super-luxury skincare brand.
The company also revealed some departures. Angelica Munson, chief digital officer; Tomoko Ikeda, chief brand and product innovation officer, and So George Sugitomo, chief creative officer are all leaving the Tokyo-based company, effective January 1.
Finally, the company also plans to cut some 200 domestic jobs, as part of its “Next Career Support Plan” early retirement program.
Coinciding with the appointment news, Shiseido on Monday reported an attributable net loss of 43,983 million yen (€246 million) for the first nine months of 2025, compared to a profit of 754 million yen (€4.2 million) in the same period a year earlier.

Luxury skiwear and lifestyle brand Perfect Moment has opened its first owned retail store in Verbier, Switzerland, one of the world’s most iconic ski destinations.
The store’s interior captures Perfect Moment’s signature aesthetic, balancing contemporary design with timeless mountain heritage. It is characterized by sleek metallic finishes and cool tones, contrasted with soft, translucent details.
The store opens with Perfect Moment’s Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, featuring signature designs such as the Aurora Ski Pant and Polar Flare Jacket, alongside new season highlights including the Polar Flare Ski Suit.
Beyond retail, the Verbier store will serve as a hub for the brand, hosting exclusive events and experiences throughout the season to engage the local community and international visitors alike.
Verbier was chosen for its alignment with the company’s alpine roots and its international audience of discerning skiers and style enthusiasts.
“The Verbier store gives us the opportunity to share the Perfect Moment experience with our community in an environment that celebrates the brand’s alpine roots,” said Jane Gottschalk, co-founder and creative director, Perfect Moment.
The opening comes as part of a broader seasonal retail strategy, which includes a refreshed store in Kitzbühel, returning for another season, a Jackson Hole pop-up at the Four Seasons, and a Snowmass Aspen pop-up.
In August, Perfect Moment announced two financing transactions totaling approximately $6.6 million to position the brand to accelerate growth following a series of operational and strategic initiatives implemented earlier this year.

Actress Maude Apatow has been named the 2025 recipient of the WIF Max Mara Face of the Future Award.
The award’s 20th anniversary was commemorated with an exclusive cocktail celebration at Chateau Marmont on November 5. The event continued the following night with WIF Honors annual gala at the Beverly Hilton, where Apatow was presented with the 2025 WIF Max Mara Face of the Future award.
Established in 2006, the award recognizes an actress at a pivotal point in her career—one who exemplifies both artistic excellence and a commitment to community impact.
Apatow, 27, made her acting debut in Judd Apatow’s “Knocked Up” and has since appeared in projects including “Euphoria”, “The King of Staten Island”, and “One of Them Days”. This year, she steps into directing with “Poetic License”.
“The best part of working in the industry so far has been the women I’ve met along the way,” Apatow said, while accepting the award.
“That bond and commitment we have to each other is something we need now more than ever. I owe everything to the women in my life who have inspired me and uplifted me either personally or through their work. I will dedicate the rest of my life and career advocating for women the way so many of you have done for decades.”
Over the past twenty years, the award has celebrated a roster of talent, including Lili Reinhart, Hailee Steinfeld, Chloë Grace Moretz, Katie Holmes, Zoë Saldana, Elizabeth Banks, Emily Blunt, and Maria Bello, among others. Many have since gone on to earn major awards and expand their influence as producers, directors, and advocates for greater representation in Hollywood.
