Sally Beauty Holdings, the well-known name behind high-street staples like Sally Beauty, Wella, and Matrix, has just made a bold new move. The company’s brought on Max Rangel—a seasoned executive with a seriously impressive CV—to join its Board of Directors. And it’s not just a ceremonial role either. Rangel steps in with immediate effect, diving straight into key committees focused on governance and talent.
Rangel, who’s currently the CEO and global president of toy and entertainment giant Spin Master Corporation, said:
“I am honored to join the Board at such an exciting moment in Sally Beauty Holdings’ strategic journey. The Company has made meaningful progress in reimagining the customer experience and scaling digital capabilities, and I am excited to contribute my skill sets and perspectives to help accelerate growth and innovation and drive shareholder value.”
And it seems the feeling is mutual. Diana Ferguson, chair of Sally Beauty’s board, had glowing praise for their latest addition: “We are very pleased to have Max join our Board of Directors and bring his C-suite experience and industry expertise gained from more than three decades at consumer goods companies, including Procter & Gamble, The Hershey Company, and S.C. Johnson & Son.”
Ferguson went on to say, “Max is a seasoned executive with experience driving operational excellence along with brand transformation, innovative marketing, and growth across leading global companies. We look forward to benefiting from his views and insights as the Sally Beauty Holdings team continues to focus on advancing our strategic initiatives and delivering profitable growth.”
So, why does this matter? Well, Sally Beauty’s been busy behind the scenes, working to refresh how it connects with customers, both in-store and online. Bringing in someone like Rangel, who’s spent decades steering big-name consumer brands through change and expansion, is a clear signal that the company’s serious about keeping up the momentum.
His past roles at Procter & Gamble, The Hershey Company, and S.C. Johnson speak volumes. He knows how to scale operations, revamp brand identity, and—crucially—deliver results that keep both customers and shareholders happy.
Rangel won’t just be sitting pretty either. He’ll be rolling up his sleeves with the nominating, governance, and corporate responsibility committee, as well as the compensation and talent committee. It’s fair to say he’s stepping in at a critical time as the beauty giant continues to navigate shifting consumer behaviours and growing digital demands.
After this appointment, Sally Beauty’s board now boasts ten directors, with nine of them being fully independent—a move likely aimed at reassuring investors that strategic decisions will be made with transparency and long-term value in mind.
For those tracking the future of beauty retail and how brands stay relevant in an ever-changing market, Rangel’s addition is one to watch. He’s got the credentials, the vision, and now, a front-row seat at one of the beauty industry’s most recognisable names.
