CRANSTON – Alex and Ani has named Cindy DiPietrantonio president of the jewelry design company.

DiPietrantonio will lead the company’s business strategy and manage daily operations, reporting to Carolyn Rafaelian, Alex and Ani founder and chief creative officer, according to a press release issued Thursday.

“Cindy’s ability to lead and inspire speaks for itself,” Rafaelian said in the release. “As we continue our journey as a global brand, she is helping to position the company for future growth, refining our go to market strategy. We welcome Cindy to the Alex and Ani family with full confidence, and love.”

In July, DiPietrantonio became Alex and Ani’s interim chief operating officer; during that time, she assessed systems and processes and made recommendations for improving business to better align with the company’s vision, strategy and international expansion goals moving forward.

From 2014 to 2016, DiPietrantonio served as interim president of SHEEX Performance Bed Sheets and Sleepwear, where, under her leadership, sales increased by more than 400 percent. She also was the chief operating officer for The Jones Group, a leading diversified apparel and footwear company housing nationally recognized brands including Jones New York, Nine West, Anne Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, Enzo Angiolini and Stuart Weitzman, among others.

She replaces Harlan Kent, who stepped down from the president position at Alex and Ani earlier this year.
