His move comes amid a string of fresh appointments, including chief executive and president Christopher Zanardi-Landi, who stated: “I am really excited that John is joining us. His understanding of British craftsmanship and detail is second to none and we share an emotional common vision on Thomas Pink‘s future direction.”
