Mémoire Adds 2 Territory Managers to Team
Cathy Marsh and Kristen Scheibel joined the company to handle the Midwest and Northeast, respectively.

Boston—Two industry veterans have joined Mémoire as territory managers, the company announced Monday.
Cathy Marsh, who is based in Chicago, comes on board as territory manager for the Midwest.
Her jewelry industry sales experience stretches back to 2001 and includes roles at John Hardy, Tacori, Scott Kay and David Yurman.
Central New York-based Kristen Scheibel is Mémoire’s new territory manager for the Northeast region.
She also has nearly two decades of jewelry sales experience, including positions at Ostbye & Anderson and Simon Golub.
Peter Smith, who took over as president of the company in January, said Marsh and Scheibel are both “very talented professionals with strong resumes and long histories of accomplishment in sales and sales management.”
“We are excited about what they will bring to our customers in their respective territories and to Mémoire ongoing.”
Mémoire, along with Hearts On Fire, is based in Boston but is owned by Hong Kong-based Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group, which purchased both in 2014.
