RAPAPORT... Signet will implement a new organizational structure
comprising two separate reporting lines that will both answer to
president and chief customer officer Seb Hobbs (pictured). 
The move is intended to strengthen Signet’s efforts to
“drive profitable comparable-store sales growth and deliver exceptional
customer experiences,” said David Bouffard, Signet’s vice president of corporate affairs. By creating individual reporting lines,
the jeweler hopes to improve accountability, upgrade its expertise for innovating and transforming the company, and provide clear progression opportunities.
The new structure will create one reporting line for teams within each store brand, including Kay Jewelers, Zales/Peoples Jewellers, Jared and
Piercing Pagoda. The second reporting line for functional teams will include
marketing, merchandising and store operations.
Each team will have a leader who will provide a
single point of accountability. They will report directly to Hobbs.
Heading up the store teams are Bill Luth, executive
general manager and executive vice president, Kay Jewelers; Adriaan Olivier,
senior vice president for strategic diamond outsourcing; David Gaynes, vice
president of product development; Jamie Singleton, executive general manager
and executive vice president, Zales and Peoples Jewellers; Kecia Caffie,
general merchandise manager of Piercing Pagoda; and a yet-to-be-named executive
general manager for Jared.
The leaders of functional teams will be Katy Jones, executive vice president and head of store operations; Mark Censoprano, executive vice president and head of marketing; and an as-yet-unnamed head of merchandising.
The changes to Signet’s structure have not impacted
the group’s UK businesses.
