Clikia Appoints Former Cartier Vice
President of Marketing and Former President of North America at
Chopard Thierry Chaunu to its Board of Directors
FORT LEE, NJ -- March 24, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire --
Clikia Corp. (OTC:
CLKA) (“Clikia” or the “Company”), an emerging leader in the
global high-end custom luxury goods marketplace, through its wholly
owned subsidiary, Maison Luxe, is pleased to announce the
appointment of former Cartier Vice-President of
Marketing and former Chopard President of North America Thierry
Chaunu to the Company’s Board of Directors.
“Thierry’s career is a highlight reel of leading firms and
prominent roles in the diamond and jewelry space, and we are
incredibly fortunate to have him involved at this stage,” commented
Anil Idnani, CEO of Clikia and Founder of Maison Luxe.
Chaunu began his jewelry career as Senior Product Manager in
Paris in the 1980’s with the world-renowned French luxury goods
conglomerate Cartier, before being promoted and
transferred to New York as Vice President of Marketing. In 1991, he
joined Christofle as President of its North American operations,
opening dozens of stores and retail corners in the process. In
1999, he became President North America at Chopard and succeeded in
giving the globally recognized luxury brand added luster and
prominence by opening multiple boutiques, key independent jewelry
retailers, and department stores, as well as establishing the
brand’s visibility as a major force at awards shows and on the red
carpets with celebrities.
In 2005, Chaunu became President & COO of Leviev Worldwide
and launched the diamond brand as a premier provider of large and
rare diamonds, opening flagship boutiques in London, New York,
Moscow, Dubai and Singapore and developed a wide collection of
complication timepieces. In 2010, building on that success, Chaunu
created his consulting company Brands Consulting LLC, advising
luxury brands (among his many clients: Louis Vuitton High Jewelry,
Chaumet, Mauboussin, Jacob & Co, L’Azurde, Lladró), launched a
collection of Swiss chronographs for racing supercars Spyker, and
revived the Marina B jewelry brand, originally founded by Marina
Bulgari.
Idnani added, “Our goals demand the presence of leaders in the
industry, and Thierry’s gravitas in the field will both open up
doors and augment our credibility with and access to firms and
individuals that directly and indirectly drive shareholder value as
an emerging presence in the high-end custom luxury goods
marketplace.”
This addition follows the strong addition of John Cormier to the
Board in November 2020, which added another strong industry veteran
as the current CEO of WatchFacts (www.watchfacts.com), a company based in
Miami, FL, that verifies the authenticity of luxury watches, among
other related services, with notable clients, including
Amazon.com.
