Leadership
With over 17 years of experience in the retail industry, Gregory Bruyer joined the Sephora family in 2016. Under his leadership, Sephora built an engaged, high-performing organization that established the company as the indisputable beauty leader in the Middle East.
After graduating from the Neoma Business School in France, he began his career in the financial sector before moving to operations at the Chalhoub Group. Thereafter, he was instrumental in launching the first 18 flagship stores of Victoria’s Secret outside North America – across seven countries in the Middle East and eastern Europe.
Gregory is thrilled to continue his Sephora journey in Canada as general manager. Outside of work, he and his family embrace outdoor living and actively participate in running, skiing, and other adventures.
