Danish high-end jewellery brand Ole Lynggaard has appointed a new country manager for Australia and New Zealand.
Kamilla van der Velde will replace fellow Dane Vibeke Mignard from August 2011. Mignard worked as Ole Lynggaard’s country manager for two years and is set to return to Europe to launch the brand in France.
Mignard said she is excited to introduce the brand to the French market. “Our goal is to continue expanding into a globally recognised fine jewellery house with the highest quality for craftsmanship, design and customer service.”
Van der Velde founded Sydney-based design company Fabulous Finds Australia in 2009. Before moving to Sydney, Van der Velde worked in marketing and sales roles in the Netherlands, Thailand and Scandinavia.
Van der Velde said, “It’s wonderful to be part of a company like Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen with such a dynamic team who all share the same values and passion for high quality handcrafted design as I do and to promote such a strong Danish brand in this wonderful part of the world – it’s truly a dream job for me.”
“There is a true sense of uniqueness that sets the company apart from others in its field, both in terms of service and products. I look forward to furthering the brand and working effectively with all our key partners in Australia and New Zealand,” Van der Velde added.
