Ulta Beauty Inc. (NASDAQ: ULTA) has announced the appointment of Martin Brok and Stephenie Landry to its Board of Directors, effective September 1, 2025. The appointments aim to bolster the company's expertise in international retail and digital innovation, while also enhancing its commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Martin Brok, with over 35 years of global leadership in consumer brands and retail innovation, joins the Ulta Beauty board. He previously served as Global President and CEO of Sephora and currently serves on the board of beauty brand Revlon. Brok's extensive international experience in retailing, merchandising, and brand strategy will be invaluable as Ulta Beauty navigates its next chapter of growth [1].

Stephenie Landry, who brings more than 20 years of leadership in consumer technology, retail operations, and strategic transformation, also joins the board. She previously held leadership roles at Amazon, including VP of Worldwide Grocery and VP of Prime Now. Landry's strong operational and digital innovation expertise, along with her sustainability leadership, will contribute to Ulta Beauty's strategic vision [2].

These appointments align with Ulta Beauty's ongoing efforts to diversify its board. The company now consists of 12 directors, with 67% women, 33% racially diverse, and 50% appointed within the last five years. The new directors will serve on the Audit and Compensation Committees, further strengthening Ulta Beauty's governance structure [3].

The appointments follow Ulta Beauty's strategic moves under the leadership of CEO Kassie Storlie, including ending its partnership with Target and expanding its product ranges. These initiatives have bolstered Ulta Beauty's market position and resilience in a challenging economic climate [2].

Ulta Beauty's second-quarter earnings, expected on August 28, are anticipated to show continued growth in same-store sales and minimal impact from tariffs. Analysts expect earnings per share of $5.08 and revenue of $2.67 billion, reflecting positive momentum from strategic initiatives [2].
