Rihanna has made the decision to step down from her position as Chief Executive Officer of Savage X Fenty, the lingerie company she founded in 2018. According to Vogue Business, Rihanna has chosen Hillary Supe, the former CEO of Anthropologie Group, as her successor. Supe will assume the role of CEO starting on June 26. Despite relinquishing her CEO responsibilities, Rihanna will continue to hold a leadership position as the executive chair of the company. It’s worth noting that Rihanna is also the CEO of Fenty Beauty, and her involvement with that brand will continue alongside her role at Savage X Fenty.
“It’s been beautiful to see our vision for Savage X Fenty impact the industry at such an incredible magnitude over the last five years. This is just the beginning for us, and we’re going to continue to expand in ways that always connect with the consumer,” Rihanna said in an official statement.
Rihanna added, “I’m so grateful and excited to welcome Hillary Super as our new CEO – she is a strong leader and is focused on taking the business to an even higher level.”
