Stoner’s previous apparel experience includes buying for Saks Fifth Avenue and management at Liz Claiborne. She was an e-commerce director for Lucent Technologies and Vice President of Sales & Marketing for 4R Systems, a successful software startup. Stoner has an MBA from the Harvard Business School.
Denise Viotti says of the acquisition: “We are thrilled to welcome Joanne Stoner and eDressMe to the Camille La Vie & Group USA family. With Joanne’s 25 years of collective experience in the apparel and e-commerce industry, she has garnered tremendous success in pioneering the online dress business.
