NEW YORK-- Jonathan Witmer has been named CEO & President of Donghia based in the New York office and reporting to Andrea Rubelli who has been named Chairman. Andrea succeeds his father Alessandro Favaretto Rubelli in this new post. “Our past Chairman, whom I thank on behalf of everyone at Donghia for the confidence and energy, that he – together with our other shareholders – has put in the company since the 2005 acquisition, has stated that – while very active at Rubelli – he isn’t able to travel to the States frequently enough to keep an active role with Donghia.” “Therefore, by becoming Chairman, I am handing all executive powers to Jonathan Witmer. Jonathan began his career working for Citigroup and then spent 18 years at Bausch & Lomb – working on their global businesses, including the Ray-Ban franchise, Consumer Healthcare, Beauty Care, and Vision Care while living and working in Asia, Europe and the Americas. Jonathan next joined Waterford, Wedgwood, Royal Doulton where he was responsible for three of their global luxury businesses, including the hospitality and contract businesses and OEM manufacturing. “With a sharp vision from outside our industry, an understanding and passion for our business, and strong people and team building skills, Jonathan will be the full time leader that Donghia deserves. All managers previously reporting to me will now report to Jonathan, effective immediately.”
