| In Asian traditions, gifts are often presented in a simple red envelope—a timeless symbol of good fortune, love and appreciation. Whether a gift is a token of gratitude or a grand gesture of love, we consider its giving and receiving a cherished occasion in itself.
A gift from RedEnvelope can celebrate anything and anyone at all—a birthday, an anniversary, a new house, your overworked friend, a newborn niece. It's the thought that counts. Wrap yours in red. RedEnvelope was founded in 1997 under the name 911gifts.com. Building on this last-minute approach to gift giving, we relaunched in October 1999 as RedEnvelope with the goal to make gift giving—no matter what the occasion or circumstance—easy and fun. Today, RedEnvelope offers an extensive collection of imaginative, original gifts for every occasion, recipient and budget through our Web site and catalog. Our merchants travel the world for unique products and often commission artists and vendors to create exclusive gifts just for RedEnvelope shoppers. Hilary Billings, Chairman and Chief Marketing Officer Hilary Billings is the driving force behind our merchandising and marketing strategies. She brings to RedEnvelope over 14 years of experience in merchandising, retail and brand development. After early training at Macy's New York and Bullocks department store in Los Angeles, Hilary spent seven years with the Pottery Barn catalog and retail group. As a director and then as vice president of product design and development, she repositioned the company as a true lifestyle brand by developing a line of exclusive products and redesigning the catalog to resemble a magazine. By the end of Hilary's tenure, Pottery Barn had become one of the most widely recognized home furnishings retailers in the country and had also become known for its hugely loyal customer base. In 1997, Hilary joined the Starwood Hotels and Resorts group as senior vice president of brand development and design. By combining the modern sensibilities of chic boutique hotels and the superior services of a larger chain, Hilary developed W Hotels. Her savvy for defining and delivering a lifestyle brand created an entirely new and successful business unit for the world's largest hotel company. Since she joined RedEnvelope in 1999, Hilary has been working closely with everyone at the company to develop our fun, imaginative and convenient gift-giving approach. What's the perfect gift for someone like Hilary? We'd send her lots of toys (to distract her three young children) and the world's largest coffee mug (to help sustain her midnight email sessions). Martin McClanan, Chief Executive Officer As RedEnvelope's chief executive officer, Martin McClanan draws on his experience in management, finance, marketing and business development to lead our corporate and financial strategy. Martin's early training in the consumer products industry began in sales management at E&J Gallo Wineries and then in brand management and direct marketing management with Nestle USA. He then ran his own business-to-business catalog called Preview Catalog, selling specialty foods to the food service industry. Given his experience with such strong global brands as Gallo and Nestle, and having launched his own catalog-based business, Martin quickly discovered the possibilities of the Internet as the third channel in retail and marketing. At Prophet Brand Strategy, Martin served as the practice director for digital commerce. He oversaw the Internet brand management and business development for companies like Levi-Strauss, Williams-Sonoma and Travelocity. Martin was most recently the head of marketing and business development for BIGWORDS.com. Martin's broad range of experience has taken him to over 70 countries and all 50 of the United States, and as our CEO, his travels for RedEnvelope have broken mileage records. What exotic adventure would Martin trade in his frequent flier miles for? Most likely a quiet evening at home playing with his two toddlers and wine tasting with friends (he was a wine guy, after all). Christopher Cunningham , Chief Information Officer Christopher Cunningham brings over 15 years of experience to his position as chief information officer of RedEnvelope. Before joining RedEnvelope, Christopher was vice president and chief information officer for Titan/VisiCom, where he was responsible for both strategic and tactical information technology. While at Titan/VisiCom, he led the deployment of an Oracle ERP system, replacing multiple-legacy financial, manufacturing and distribution systems, and significantly re-engineering all core business processes. As a result of this project, inventory turns improved by a factor of four and the monthly financial close cycle was reduced from three weeks to four days. Christopher also has significant international experience, having served as the senior information technology executive for Alsys, the software products group of Thomson SA, a multinational software products company with information system assets throughout Europe, Japan and North America. Prior to working at Titan/VisiCom, Christopher was president and CEO of the Internet Advertising Corporation, a company specializing in the design and development of ecommerce and Internet-enabled marketing solutions. Christopher's development and continued improvement of our technologies give RedEnvelope the sound architecture and effortless convenience our customers have come to expect. In his free time however, you'd be hard-pressed to find Christopher in front of a computer. Weekend pursuits don't get any more high-tech than a ride on his Harley-Davidson and a game of squash for this accomplished sailor and musician. | ||
