Happi International Top 30 Company Puig tapped Jose Manuel Albesa as its new CEO.

In September 2025, Albesa was appointed deputy CEO of Puig and oversaw all divisions at the group. He also continued to remain president of Puig Beauty and Fashion. 

Marc Puig will stay on as executive chairman of the company. This will separate the roles of CEO and chairman, which were previously held by Marc Puig prior to the appointment.

Marc Puig commented, “This is an exciting time in Puig’s evolution, building on very strong foundations and growth to set the platform for the next stage of our development. With this important announcement, the board of Puig opens a new chapter in the company’s governance. The separation of the roles of executive chairman and chief executive officer is fully aligned with the highest standards of best practice for listed companies.”

He added, “I have worked closely with Jose Manuel for over 20 years and I have every confidence that his talent, leadership and vision make him ideally suited to become CEO of Puig. His deep understanding of our brands, our culture and the way we work will be crucial to drive our company forward.”
