""We are pleased that Lauren will be joining Revolution Beauty at such a critical and exciting time for the group," Executive Chairman Alistair McGeorge said in a statement

"Lauren's extensive knowledge of the beauty and retail industries, and proven track record of driving meaningful results, will be critical as we build Revolution Beauty into a global beauty leader."

She will take over as the top boss of Revolution Beauty on Sept. 18.
