In this role, Ms. Kennedy will be responsible for the Company's global human resources strategy and operations; talent management, including recruitment and leadership development; and compensation and benefits.

Most recently, Ms. Kennedy served as Williams-Sonomas Senior Vice President of HR with a focus on Talent Organizational Development, Internal communications and retail operations and was with the company for 12 years.

I look forward to working closely with Efraim and the entire Movado Group team as we continue to prioritize talent development and retention while building on our legacy of creating the best brands in the industry.
