The late-summer career shuffle is still moving fast, and Lidiane Jones is the biggest name in the bunch. After leaving Bumble, she’s taking over as CEO of Integral Ad Science, a sign that ad-tech still likes experienced operators who know how to run a public-facing business.
Ulta Beauty also made a double move: PacSun CEO Brieane Olson is joining its board, and Kelly Garcia is coming in as chief technology officer. That pairing says a lot about where retailers think the pressure points are now — governance on one side, tech on the other.
Elsewhere, the women’s and consumer brands crowd kept circulating talent. eBay brought back Renee Paradise to lead fashion globally. Revolve promoted Raissa Gerona to president of brand and partnerships. Loeffler Randall named Mariel O’Brien president and general manager, while Prequel Skin tapped Nathalie Kristo as CEO and Toral Patel as CMO. Clearstem Skincare also made a leadership change, naming Diana Dennett president.
The list runs well beyond retail. Twitch picked Christine Cassis as its new CMO. ZipRecruiter named Carmen Chan CFO. Klaviyo hired Erica Smith as CFO. Zeta Global promoted Candace Dean and brought in Leah Pope as CMO. And Livia Chanes, already on Fortune’s Most Powerful Women list, moved up at Nubank from running Brazil to leading all of Latin America, a new role. Denise Dresser, meanwhile, is out as chief revenue officer at OpenAI.
The through line is obvious: when boards and CEOs want a reset, they keep reaching for women who’ve already done the job elsewhere. That’s not diversity theater; that’s just the talent market admitting who can actually run things.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is what real pipeline looks like: women get the toughest seats, not just the pretty board bios. The problem isn’t a shortage of qualified execs; it’s how long companies wait before acting like they noticed. Once again, the talent scout in the room is reality, not HR poetry.
