WOONSOCKET, R.I. — CVS vice president of merchandising for beauty and personal care Andrea Harrison has left the company for “a new opportunity,” she wrote on LinkedIn.
After 19 years with CVS, “it was a bittersweet departure, with so many memories and so hard leaving an amazing team,” she wrote. “There are more people to thank for the experience and opportunities I had than I could possibly capture here, and I am sure I didn’t get to everyone in my final weeks.
“While I will now watch from the sidelines, I can’t wait to see what the incredibly talented team there continues to do to help beauty lovers of all generations find a healthier relationship with beauty.”
Harrison was responsible for the cosmetics, skin, fragrance, hair and personal care categories, as well as the beauty service program within the company’s retail business.
She said this year that today’s beauty shopper expects not only tried-and-true products but also the accessible health and wellness offerings and convenience that CVS offers them.
“That health and wellness focus has driven many of the moves my team and I have led over the years, not least of which is the continued evolution of the Beauty Mark initiative, one of the achievements I am most proud of,” said Harrison.
