Emanuele Corvo, Managing Director of Kartell, has resigned from his position and will be leaving the company at the end of March, in order to pursue new business interests. “We are extremely grateful for all the work that Emanuele performed for Kartell during the past two years”, noted Demetrio Apolloni, Kartell SpA General Manager. “We wish him all the very best in his future endeavors”
Furthermore, Kartell SpA is pleased to announce a new position for the U.S. As of April 1st, Mr. John J. Jenkin will hold the position and title of Executive Vice President of Kartell US, in North America.
Evaluating the challenges of the past year in the global market it serves, and the positive movement of growth in retail sales over the last few months in the United States, Kartell SpA has reorganized its American offices. This will enable Kartell US to respond to market needs with greater flexibility and resources. Moreover, the new position will allow for John to explore and lead Kartell into more market segments.
Before joining Kartell, Mr. Jenkin ran his own firm representing various high-quality Italian furnishing and lighting lines in the United States. Prior to that, John lived in Italy and was the export manager for Foscarini for three years, and LucePlan before that. He brings the knowledge of both the retail and contract market segments for all of North America.
“We are so pleased to have someone of John’s caliber and expertise to spearhead the evolution of Kartell”, stated Mr. Apolloni. “We are looking forward to working together to have deeper and stronger relationships with our current clients and customers and be poised for growth in new sectors”.
Mr. Jenkin resides in Princeton, New Jersey with his wife and two children.
