Joining them is Jennifer Olsen, the current Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of Caleres, with previous roles at UntucKit and Crate & Barrel. Jennifer's marketing acumen and her understanding of consumer behaviour will be instrumental in shaping Fair Harbor's marketing and branding strategies.

Jake Danehy, Fair Harbor's CEO and co-founder, expressed his enthusiasm for the new appointments, acknowledging the immense value they bring to the organization. He emphasized their collective expertise and how, in collaboration with Fair Harbor's existing partner, Broad Sky Partners, they will play a crucial role in expanding the brand's product offerings and distribution channels.

Caroline Danehy, the CBO and co-founder of Fair Harbor, also voiced her excitement, emphasizing the commitment of the newly appointed members to the company's sustainability mission. As Fair Harbor continues to grow and diversify its product portfolio and distribution channels, these industry leaders are expected to play a pivotal role in guiding the brand through its next phase of expansion.

This strategic move by Fair Harbor not only underlines the brand's commitment to diversity and inclusion but also marks a significant step towards its goal of becoming a leader in sustainable fashion. With these three accomplished women on board, the future looks promising for Fair Harbor as it continues to carve a niche in the fashion industry, bringing sustainability to the forefront.
