Alexis Gilmer farewells the beauty industry

She's been with the company for over 13 years, but this Friday communications manager Alexis Gilmer is bidding adieu to Estée Lauder Companies.

Gilmer made the "incredibly tough decision" to take some time out to focus on her dream of starting a family.

"It has been an absolute pleasure working with all of you over the last 13+ years!” says Gilmer in an email to media. “I have enjoyed so many great times with so many of you and have never got tired of what I do. For those I won’t touch base with before I go, thank you for all of the wonderful support and friendship over the years.”

A replacement communications manager has not yet been announced. All media requests should be sent to communications coordinator Tess Stolarchuk on tstolarchuk@clinique.com.au in the interim.
