Jose Manuel Albesa has been appointed the new CEO of Puig, effective March 17, 2026.

Marc Puig, formerly chairman and CEO of Puig, will continue to serve as executive chairman of the company.

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.”

Puig will remain fully committed to the company as executive chairman and looks forward to continuing to work with Albesa.

Albesa will also be proposed as a member of the Puig board at the company’s annual general meeting in May.

Marc Puig 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.”

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.
