The Grayson Company is proud to announce the appointment of Kevin Mullaney as its new Chief Executive Officer. Kevin joined the company 13 years ago and previously served as President.
“I have known Kevin for more than 30 years,” said Bob Grayson. “Over the last 12 years we have worked side-by-side, leading the business to its current position as a premiere consulting firm focusing on all aspects of consumer and retail businesses.”
“Bob founded the company with the idea that a consulting firm should have both firsthand experience with running a business and a personalized, highly-operational approach,” said Kevin. “I believe that the company’s remarkable growth is a testament to the work of the individuals that make up this truly talented team.”
Kevin has an extensive background in merchandising ranging from department stores to specialty stores. As alum of the famed Macy’s (Federated) training program he quickly rose to Divisional Merchandise Manager. He joined the men’s specialty store chain Club International as Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer, guiding its turnaround to profitability and preparing the company for the subsequent sale to a large specialty retail company. His creativity and management skills landed him at Tommy Hilfiger, where he worked as Senior Vice President of Retail Development. During his tenure with Tommy, the company grew from $200 million to over $2 billion. Kevin has become a commentator on a wide range of retail topics, representing The Grayson Company on national print and broadcast media.
“We do more than consult,” said Kevin. “We are full service partners with our clients–this mindset is what makes us different. Going forward, I am confident that our unique approach will position us to innovate and adjust to new technologies and the ever expanding channels of potential product distribution.”
“I have total confidence in Kevin’s talent, experience and skills. He is an excellent leader and the ideal candidate to take the company to new heights,” said Bob Grayson.
