Tupperware Brands named consumer products veteran and former long-time CEO of Spanx Laurie Ann Goldman as its new CEO on Wednesday amid ongoing attempts to continue to survive as a business. Goldman takes over the role from Miguel Fernandez, effective immediately, the company said. Tupperware shares jumped 12% Wednesday as investors cheered the news.
In addition to her experience heading up Spanx for 12 years, Goldman also previously was CEO of Avon North America from August 2018 to August 2019. She was most recently CEO of OVME Aesthetics, a provider of medical aesthetics products and services prior to coming on board at Tupperware.
