Artemis Patrick, president and CEO of Sephora North America, is set to be honored at the 76th annual Parsons Benefit.

Taking place on May 20, in New York City, the event celebrates visionary leaders in fashion, business, design, and philanthropy who embody the university’s values of creativity, innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity.

Patrick will be presented with The Parsons Table Award, which recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the design industry, particularly through fostering social innovation and creativity in beauty and retail.

“We are pleased to recognize Artemis Patrick, president and CEO of Sephora North America,” said Yvonne Watson, executive dean of Parsons School of Design. “Every year, Parsons seeks to honor leaders who are creating a positive impact within the design industry and the world at large, and Artemis’ work at Sephora reflects those values.”

As the president and CEO of Sephora North America, Patrick is responsible for developing growth strategies to maintain Sephora’s position as the number 1 prestige beauty omni-retailer. 

During her 18 years at Sephora, she has served as global merchandising officer for Sephora and chief merchandising officer for Sephora Americas. She also served as senior vice president and general manager of Sephora within JCPenney and earlier as the vice president of E-commerce Merchandising for Sephora.com. 

“I’m incredibly humbled to receive this recognition from Parsons and The New School. Being a part of Sephora and the larger beauty industry, celebrating and cultivating expression, innovation, and creativity is integral to the continued evolution of this beautiful community,” said Patrick. 

“Parsons is leading the way in educating and helping to shape the next generation of creatives and I’m energized for what the future holds and honored to be a part of this journey.”

Patrick joins a roster of past honorees, including Donna Karan, Jason Wu, Vera Wang, LVMH, Olivier Rousteing, Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Gucci’s Marco Bizzarri.
