Estee Lauder said on Monday its long-time CEO Fabrizio Freda had decided to retire from the company at the end of fiscal 2025.

Freda joined Estee in 2008 as president and chief operating officer and was later named the MAC lipstick maker's CEO.

Estee said the board was considering internal and external candidates as part of its CEO succession planning.

Until a successor is appointed, Freda will continue to lead and oversee the company's strategic, financial and investment priorities, Estee said.

Estee has trimmed its global workforce and is trying to shore up its margins as part of a turnaround plan.

The company's results are due later on Monday.

Istanbul-born founder and owner of fashion empire Mango Isak Andic died on Saturday in a mountain accident, the company said. He was 71.

The businessman slipped and fell from a 150-meter cliff while hiking with relatives in the Montserrat caves near Barcelona, Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia said.

"His departure leaves a huge void but all of us are, in some way, his legacy and the testimony of his achievements. It is up to us ... to ensure that Mango continues to be the project that Isak was ambitious and proud of," Mango's CEO Toni Ruiz said in a statement.

Andic moved with his family to the northeastern Spanish region of Catalonia from Türkiye in the 1960s and founded Mango in 1984. He was worth $4.5 billion, according to Forbes. He was non-executive chairman of the company when he died.

He was seen as a rival to Amancio Ortega, the owner of Inditex, the world's largest fast-fashion retailer.

Mango had a turnover of 3.1 billion euros in 2023 with 33% of its business online and a presence in more than 120 markets.
