RAPAPORT... Scott Kay president Michael Benavente has left the branded jewelry firm less than five months after joining from Gucci Group.
Bridal company Frederick Goldman, which owns the Scott Kay brand, said Benavente “left the company to pursue another opportunity” without disclosing specifics, according to a company press release.
Benavente moved to the New York jewelry designer in May from Gucci’s watches and jewelry division, where he was managing director for the Americas region.
Frederick Goldman bought the assets of Scott Kay in February 2015 through its affiliate High Line Precious Acquisition LLC following the death of its eponymous founder last December.
The brand will now be overseen by Adam Gurian, whom Frederick Goldman has promoted to chief commercial officer, a newly created position, Frederick Goldman said in a statement September 25. Gurian was previous executive vice president for global sales and merchandise and joined the company in 2013 from Timex.
