Frederic de Narp heads to Harry Winston

December 07, 2009

New York--Harry Winston Diamond Corp. has announced the appointment of Frederic de Narp to the position of president and chief executive officer of Harry Winston Inc.

Most recently president and CEO of Cartier International, de Narp succeeds Tom O'Neill, who led Harry Winston Inc. over the last five years.

The appointment will become effective Jan. 4, 2010.

The announcement comes on the heels of executive changes at Cartier. de Narp's resignation from Cartier, which had been widely speculated over the last few months, was officially confirmed by the brand on Dec. 3. At the same time, Cartier announced de Narp's successor, former Van Cleef and Arpels President and CEO Emmanuel Perrin.

de Narp's experience in luxury retail began 18 years ago at Cartier Japan. Over the years, he rose through the brand's executive ranks, working in Asia and Europe before moving in 2005 to New York, where he oversaw Cartier North America.

"We are delighted that Frederic will be joining Harry Winston Inc.," Harry Winston Chairman and CEO Robert Gannicott said in a media release. "He has an innate ability for understanding the luxury consumer's needs in the United States and globally. Frederic brings high energy as well as a clear vision of the relevance of luxury and jewelry to the modern world. His industry expertise, combined with our company's unrivalled position in the market, will play an integral role in the development and growth of the Harry Winston business and brand internationally."
