Ulta has announced that Mary Dillon will take over as chief executive officer at Ulta, effective July 1. Previous CEO Chuck Rubin stood down from the position in February and non-executive chairman Dennis Eck had been leading the company in the interim.

Mary Dillon joins Ulta Beauty from U.S Cellular, where she held the position of chief executive officer and president since June 2010. “I am delighted to be joining a company with such a strong track record and tremendous growth opportunities and am excited to be part of the dynamic beauty industry,” said Dillon.

“The Board believes that Mary is the ideal person to lead Ulta Beauty as we enter our next phase of growth,” said Dennis Eck, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Ulta Beauty. “Mary brings strategic vision, a rich consumer marketing background, strong operational experience, and a passion for the customer.”

Ulta sells mass and prestige beauty products via 576 retail stores in the United States and also distributes its products through its online store.
