Seun Sodipo, who was previously the head of product finance and strategy at Stripe, will take over as chief financial officer at the digitally focused beauty retailer next spring, Glossier said Tuesday. Sodipo will take over from Vanessa Wittman, who has served in the role since 2019 and is retiring.

In addition, Glossier hired Kyle Leahy as chief commercial officer from Cole Hahn, and Kristy Maynes was named senior vice president of retail, coming from Lululemon. In July, Glossier announced an $80 million Series E fundraising round that valued the company at $1.8 billion. The company has raised $266 million in total.
