Nathan Moris leaves Estée Lauder Travel Retail Americas role for key new EMEA post

After nearly five years as Vice President, General Manager, Travel Retail Americas, Nathan Moris will assume a new position within The Estée Lauder Companies later this month.

Moris will take up the role of Vice President, General Manager, Estée Lauder, AERIN and Origins for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He will also join the EMEA Leadership Team.

The Estée Lauder Companies Senior Vice President/General Manager, Business Operations, Travel Retail Worldwide Israel Assa will hold the position of Acting General Manager for Travel Retail Americas until Moris’s successor has been appointed.

Nathan Moris (seated third from right) has played a lead role in the company’s renowned Breast Cancer campaign as well as driving many commercial achievements.

The Estée Lauder Companies said that in his Americas travel retail role, Moris had rapidly accelerated the company’s brand portfolio within the region while growing the niche and artisanal fragrance category substantially. “An advocate for innovating the consumer experience through digital, Nathan and his Consumer Engagement team led many first-to-market initiatives within Travel Retail Americas,” the group added.

“During his tenure, Nathan was a true leader and champion for employee engagement, launching change management and leadership initiatives to drive continued learning and development as well as sponsoring the Miami team’s first-ever Sale-A-Bration to support the company’s Breast Cancer campaign.”

Assa said, “We are incredibly grateful for Nathan’s leadership and commitment to travel retail and the Americas over the past five years.

“Nathan’s strong collaborative spirit and his excellent relationships with our retail partners has been a direct contributor to our growth within the Americas region, and while we will miss his presence in Miami, we wish him all the best in his new role.”
