Letarte Hires New Sales Manager
Fairfield, CT, June 3, 2010 - Letarte, Maui-based swim & cover-up brand, is pleased to announce the addition of Nicole Jeanetti as the company's new Sales Manager. With almost a decade of experience building sales initiatives, Ms. Jeanetti will manage all national wholesale accounts for Letarte and help grow the brand's identity among specialty retailers.
"We are excited to have Nicole join us--among her many sales assets, she brings her familiarity with the national as well as international distribution points," says CEO Michele Letarte Ross. "Her knowledge and experience of both specialty and department store customers needs will round out our wholesale business."
Most recently, Ms. Jeanetti was a Senior Account Executive at Liz Claiborne Inc where she was responsible for maintaining and growing the $40 million DKNY department store and outlet business.

Now it is a multi-million dollar brand sold in 400+ retail outlets worldwide.
