Carlyle Managing Director David Stonehill said, “Nobody knows
home fragrance like Harry Slatkin. He has a strong legacy of
innovation, product development and market expansion. We are
confident Blyth and its business
units PartyLite and Silver Star will thrive under
Harry’s inspired leadership. We are very excited to welcome Dan
Chard, whose operational expertise in the direct selling sector
will help fuel Blyth’s expansion.”
Slatkin is one of the world’s most successful leaders in the
home fragrance industry. As the founder and creative force behind
Slatkin & Co, the premier home fragrance brand, he has received
numerous awards, and was dubbed by The New York Times and The Wall
Street Journal as the “King of Home Fragrance.” In 2005,
Slatkin sold Slatkin & Co. to L Brands’ Bath & Body Works
division. At L Brands, Slatkin grew the business to the second
largest home fragrance company in the world, and the number one
home fragrance brand on QVC. In 2011, Slatkin became Belstaff’s
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman and spearheaded the plan
that transformed Belstaff into a leading luxury lifestyle
brand.
“Twenty three years ago I entered into the world of home
fragrance where my passion for excellence helped create the best
home fragrance products in the world,” said Slatkin. “At PartyLite,
my first priority is to expand the company’s direct salesforce and
drive new product innovation. Together we will develop and deliver
premier home fragrance products and experiences to people all over
the world.”
The company also announced the appointment of Dan Chard as the
new President and COO, effective immediately. Chard joins the
company from Nu Skin, where he served as President of Global Sales
and Operations. For 15 years, Chard worked for Nu Skin, a direct
seller company that distributes premium-quality anti-aging products
in the personal care and nutritional supplements sectors. He also
held the positions of Executive Vice President of distributor
success and President of Nu Skin, Europe.
“I am honored to take this role at Blyth, and excited about the
possibilities that lie ahead,” said Mr. Chard. “PartyLite has the
best independent consultants, who all have remarkable passion for
the product. I look forward to working with the entire team as we
embark on this exciting journey together.”
