SEOUL, South Korea, June 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Amorepacific is set to intensify its efforts to further accelerate growth in the North American market by appointing a new head for its operations.

Amorepacific has appointed Giovanni Valentini as the new CEO of its North America Regional Headquarters, effective June 1st.
