Aber/Harry Winston appoints communications officers

September 05, 2007

New York—Aber/Harry Winston appears to be raising its public and media profile, as the company announced on Tuesday a round of newly appointed communications officials.

Nancy Murray was named to the new position of vice president of investor relations and corporate communications, and Carson Glover to corporate communications director.

Murray will report to Thomas O'Neill, president of Aber and chief executive officer of Harry Winston, on all matters concerning investor relations, and to Susy Korb, chief marketing officer and creative director, on issues related to corporate communications.

Based in New York, Murray will be responsible for investor relations, business and trade media communications and corporate events. She will act as the company's primary jewelry and watch liaison with the consumer and fashion media.

"We are delighted to have an executive of Nancy's caliber join us," said Robert Gannicott, chairman and chief executive officer of Aber in a statement. "This is an important time in our company's growth as we execute on strategies that require a solid communications professional to clearly articulate our message to analysts, investors and the business media."

O'Neill said Murray's experience in global corporate communications and her expertise working with investors and analysts makes her a key addition to the management team.

"We look forward to her contributions as we continue to communicate our global growth strategy," he said.

Prior to joining the company, Murray was senior vice president at Polo Ralph Lauren, where she held a variety of communications positions from 1999 until August 2007. During her tenure there, she was the company's chief liaison to the investment community and oversaw corporate, employee and fashion communications, along with investor relations. Prior to Polo, she was vice president of investor relations and corporate communications at New York-based advertising and marketing corporation, BF Holdings. There she was responsible for financial and media relations, crisis management and public relations.

Previously, Murray held positions in newspaper publishing, including vice president and an officer of the Denver-based Rocky Mountain News, an E.W. Scripps publication, in 1992. Before that, Murray spent 15 years as a journalist and editor with regional newspapers, starting as fashion editor of the Houston Chronicle.

Murray will be supported by Glover, who joined the company after almost five years with the Diamond Information Center as the associate director of public affairs representing the Diamond Trading Co. in the United States. During that period, he also served as spokesman for the World Diamond Council and was actively involved with the ongoing education campaign related to the Kimberley Process.
