UK based beauty e-tailer feelunique.com has appointed ex Clarins executive Joël Palix as its new CEO. Palix is expected to take up the new post in February.

Prior to this, he held executive positions at Yves Saint Laurent Beauté including MD Europe, MD France and MD Spain.
“I am thrilled to be joining feelunique, an exciting brand at a very exciting time. They currently have over 500 leading brands on the site, world-class content and relationships with retailers across the spectrum, so it is a thrill and an honour to be able to lead feelunique on a vigorous path to growth with this unbeatable mix of assets,” said Palix.
Feelunique co-founder Aaron Chatterley, who recently assumed the role of Deputy Chairman, will continue to focus on key supplier relationships and partnerships.
He added: “We are delighted to welcome Joël into the business. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge with over 30 years of luxury beauty expertise, industry knowledge and a charismatic leadership style in a pivotal moment of our growth and strategy.
