June 07 2018 - 1:15PM
Evine Live Inc. (“Evine”) (NASDAQ:EVLV), a multiplatform
interactive digital commerce company (evine.com), today announced
that Anne Martin-Vachon will join the company on August 1, 2018 as
President running the front of the house functions and reporting to
the Chief Executive Officer, Bob Rosenblatt. Reporting to Ms.
Martin-Vachon will be Michael Henry, Chief Merchandising Officer,
and Nicole Ostoya, Chief Marketing Officer.
Ms. Martin-Vachon comes to Evine from the Canadian multiplatform
e-commerce company TSC - Today’s Shopping Choice, a division of
Rogers Media. She spent the last two years there as President and
is credited with the operational and sales turnaround of the
company. Her expertise lies in cultivating a high-performing team,
leading brand transformations that resonate with customers, the
instinct to curate a product assortment that shoppers want, and
keen attention to top-and-bottom-line growth – all with the
customers’ experience at the center. With passion, experience, and
business savvy, Ms. Martin-Vachon is uniquely suited to lead
Evine’s next chapter.
“Evine has now entered the third year of its three-year turn
around,” said Rosenblatt. “Anne is the perfect fit to continue to
grow our sales and merchandising organization and deliver on our
strategy to grow both sales and profit this year. She has a great
track record and brings a balance of creative and operational
strength to the position. She also has the unique position to have
strong partnerships already in place with many of the brands that
are here at Evine, that also appear on TSC, and will be hitting the
ground running.”
During her Canadian tenure, Ms. Martin-Vachon rebranded the
company (from The Shopping Channel to TSC -Today’s Shopping
Choice), grew the customer base, re-energized the merchandise
portfolio, and improved the broadcast and digital content
experience to deepen customer engagement. Operationally, she
reorganized the company, simplified processes, focused on flawless
execution to deliver a better end-to-end customer experience,
transformed the digital marketing strategy, and reduced inventories
by 30%.
“Ms. Martin-Vachon has been able to leverage her considerable
experience over the last couple of years with the impressive work
she has done with the TSC turnaround,” said Landel Hobbs Chairman
of the Board at Evine. “Her results are a testament to her focus,
growing sales and margin at TSC by double digits and delivering
record results during her tenure there.”
“I love the multiplatform digital retail experience – this is my
sweet spot,” said Anne Martin-Vachon, incoming President, Evine.
“We are storytellers. The story of great brands told by expert
storytellers, and that unique trust we create with our customer.
Now, as I join the company, I am looking forward to shaping the
exciting next chapter in the Evine story – it’s going to be a great
one!”

Inc., a leading fashion specialty retailer, Chief Executive Officer
at Lise Watier Cosmétiques, Inc., a Canadian-based beauty and
