Dune Jewelry and Co., an experiential jewelry company, has announced the appointment of Kevin Farrington as its new chief executive officer, effective immediately. Holly Daniels Christensen, who has served as the company’s founder and chief executive officer for 14 years, will transition to the role of founder and chairwoman.
As founder and chairwoman, Christensen’s involvement in the company will continue to further its growth and development. The transition will allow her to focus on designing new collections, strengthening relationships with retail partners and the Dune community, expanding product development practices and assuming a more front-facing role in events, speaking engagements and social media.
“I am thrilled to announce the appointment of Kevin Farrington as the new chief executive officer,” said Christensen in a press statement. “Kevin’s experience as a senior executive in both luxury retail and the cruise industry will allow Dune Jewelry to expand into new markets and product categories. He brings a deep understanding of Dune Jewelry’s values and vision, and his commitment to driving innovation makes him the perfect candidate to lead us into the next chapter of our journey.”
Kevin Farrington joins Dune from British luxury watch company Bremont, where he served as both vice president of global travel retail and vice president North America. Prior to Bremont, he held the position of senior director of revenue and marketing for PPI Group.
