Stephanie Unwin, who has been president of Veronica Beard since 2013, has been promoted to chief executive officer.
As president, Unwin led the company’s strategy, growth and operations. Under her guidance, Veronica Beard successfully expanded into new product categories such as denim, footwear, handbags and belts, as well as global markets. Her appointment as CEO formalizes the work she has been doing for more than a decade and reflects the company’s growth, rather than a change in the brand’s direction or strategy.
Unwin will continue to partner with cofounders and co-chairs Veronica Swanson Beard and Veronica Miele Beard, who remain engaged in both the day-to-day and long-term governance of the company.
“Stephanie’s partnership is invaluable. Our brand has reached incredible success with her leadership and strategic vision. We are honored that she will be our CEO,” Miele Beard said.
“This acknowledges the tremendous role Stephanie has played in shaping our business over the past 13 years,” Swanson Beard said. “Alongside Stephanie, we have turned a dream into a reality, and we are incredibly proud of the company we have built together. Veronica and I will remain hands-on with every aspect of the brand, and are so energized by the future of Veronica Beard.”
