Her innovative approach and proven track record for growing business and relationships with luxury department and specialty stores in North America will play a crucial role in shaping the company’s future growth, said Hearts On Fire.
Rokkos will report to the brand’s president of North America, Rebecca Foerster.
“I am incredibly excited to welcome Vickie to our team,” Foerster said.
“Her expertise, leadership, and passion is a perfect fit to oversee our incredible sales team as we continue driving growth, strengthening relationships, and building momentum for the brand.”
Rokkos’ appointment is in line with Hearts On Fire’s plan to strengthen its North American leadership team as part of its multi-year brand transformation.
“It’s an exciting time to join Hearts On Fire during a pivotal global transformation,” Rokkos said.
“I’m looking forward to diving right in and partnering with our sales team and customers to ensure Hearts On Fire continues to shine as a modern, luxury fashion diamond jewelry brand in the finest North American retail stores.”
