STANTT NAMES KATIE MCCARTHY NATIONAL SALES DIRECTOR

Stantt has named Katie McCarthy as its new national sales director.  In this role, McCarthy will oversee all wholesale activity for 300+ retail doors in both the U.S. and Canada while managing a six-member sales team.

McCarthy, who has experience in women’s high fashion prior to joining Stantt, was the company’s first hire in 2015.  She holds a dual degree in business and communications from The University of Kentucky, where she also played collegiate tennis.

“I’m so excited to take on this new role with Stantt,” said McCarthy. “When I started with the company 4.5 years ago, it was really just an idea.  To see how far we’ve come has been the most humbling and rewarding experience of my life. The relationships and opportunities we’ve created with our retail partners are everything, and I can’t wait to propel Stantt even further in 2019 as a company focused on providing every customer with a perfect fit, from head to toe.”

Kirk Keel, co- founder and co-CEO of Stantt, said, “This is really special for us on so many levels. To see someone young and hungry rapidly climb in our company, to see her earn the highest levels of respect and trust achieved by only the most seasoned sales directors, and to witness the powerful leadership of a woman in a male-dominated industry have been some of our proudest moments as a company. Katie is a remarkable force and a healthy disruptor in the marketplace, period.”

Co-CEO and co-founder, Matt Hornbuckle, added, “We’re thrilled about the announcement.  Katie has played an invaluable role as we continue to deepen the relationships with our wholesale partners.”

Stantt is seeking an additional wholesale account executive to join its NYC-based team.  Inquiries can be sent to katie@stantt.com.
