NEW YORK, Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Misahara, the
New York handmade fine jewelry
house, has announced today that the owners of the company have
chosen Janice Winter as the
organization's next Chief Executive Officer. Mrs. Winter, who
served as President for fourteen years at Judith Ripka Companies,
was "immediately engaged by the unique design and beautiful
craftsmanship" of Misahara's jewelry.
"After a thorough research process, I am delighted to have
Janice as our new CEO," says Misahara designer, Lepa Galeb-Roskopp. "Janice has a track record
of strong leadership and success in the luxury industry. This
combined with her experience at Estee Lauder and several other
luxury brands makes her uniquely qualified to lead Misahara
successfully into the future."
Established in the US with a boutique at the Plaza Hotel and a
retail presence at Material Good in New
York, Misahara has recently entered Neiman Marcus in select locations (Palo Alto,
Beverly Hills) and will soon be available in key locations in both
the West and East Coasts. Creating a brand that will be
approachable and luxurious as it interacts on a variety of media
platforms; perfecting the retail environment with sales
professionals who can communicate the brand message and become a
resource to their clientele are some of the goals Winter will be
looking to accomplish.
"In the ever shifting global luxury market, luxury houses must
first understand and evaluate where growth in luxury will come from
and which luxury consumers will drive that growth. Emerging
designers in particular must differentiate themselves and hone in
on what is now driving the luxury consumer mindset," says
Winter.
In 2007 Mrs. Winter founded Luxury Brand Consulting, Inc., a
company that specializes in brand building, marketing, business
development, retail operations, sales/distribution, and financial
management. She is aligned with best in class retail organizations,
luxury companies in fine jewelry, beauty, wellness/spa, fashion and
accessories. Her key strengths are in growing businesses while
maintaining brand integrity and relevance.
In 2013 Janice launched her new company, Janice Winter Inc.; a
global business solutions company focused in luxury and
specializing in scaling businesses through all growth phases. As a
business operator and idea generator, Mrs. Winter connects her
knowledge and understanding of the consumer mindset to product,
brand strategies and ultimately to what drives purchasing. She
is driven by her passion for excellence and consistently delivers
sustainable business models for growth and profitability.
Misahara is a fine jewelry house influenced by the
beauty of nature's pristine elements ranging from the Adriatic Sea
to the Sahara Desert. The Misahara Collection is
designed for empowered well-traveled women who much like its
founder, Lepa Galeb-Roskopp,
have an affinity for philanthropy. As a designer, she envisages art
through the inspiration of world travels and transfers it into
material form. With homes in New
York, California,
South Africa and Montenegro, Lepa's creations are
reminiscent of each and every experience she endures.
Misahara evokes a feeling of exquisite luxury, channeling
a modern and suave flare marked by unique
handcraftsmanship and the finest quality
gemstones.
