After three years at its helm, Glossier chief executive officer, Kyle Leahy is stepping down by the end of 2025, as reported by WWD.
"Over three years ago, Emily [Weiss] and I shared exciting news about Glossier’s next chapter, and I was honoured to step into my role as CEO of the company she built," Leahy said in a company-wide note to Glossier staffers Tuesday, which was obtained by WWD.
"Today, we have reached a new chapter defined by scale, profitability and brand strength."
"With that foundation in place, the board and I believe this is the right moment to bring in the next CEO to lead this new phase of growth."

Leahy joined Glossier as its first chief commercial officer in 2021 before taking the reins from founder, Emily Weiss in May 2022.
It’s understood that Weiss will remain as executive chairwoman and will not step into the CEO role.
"I am so grateful for Kyle’s leadership and stewardship of Glossier over these past three-plus years," Weiss said in a statement.
"She deeply understands how unique and special this brand is and was exactly the right person to serve as our CEO as we looked to evolve our business model for sustainability and profitability, and scale our brand."
"Glossier was always built to be more than just one person — more than me, more than Kyle — and I am excited to partner with her to find our next leader."
Leahy will remain in her board seat through 2026 and will help identify a successor.
