Avon Eliminating Hundreds of Jobs; Leaves Ireland
NEW YORK — Avon is eliminating more than 400 positions and abandoning or restructuring smaller or underperforming businesses in Africa, the Middle East and Europe, including an exit from Ireland. The company said Monday that the job cuts, which equate to about 1 percent of Avon’s 39,100 employees, will occur across all regions and segments. It is part of a turnaround plan under CEO Sheri McCoy, with the goal of achieving mid-single digit percentage revenue growth and $400 million in cost savings by 2016. Avon expects to complete almost all the cuts before year’s end. The New York company will take charges of around $35 million to $40 million before taxes and expects annualized savings of between $45 million and $50 million.
