Perfect Moment Ltd., the global luxury ski and lifestyle brand, has made significant leadership changes designed to strengthen its management team and accelerate its next phase of growth.
In a news release the company announced: Chath Weerasinghe, a senior executive at Canada Goose , where he was responsible for its global expansion, has been appointed chief financial officer and chief operating officer of Perfect Moment, Vittorio Giacomelli, former president of product and sourcing at Canada Goose, will be responsible for overseeing product strategy, product development, and innovation. He has decades of expertise in design, product development, and sourcing. Co-founder and chief creative officer, Jane Gottschalk, has been appointed president.
“These key management changes mark a transformative moment for Perfect Moment as it builds on its unique position in the luxury outerwear market, particularly in how it blends bold, contemporary designs with high-performance functionality,” said the company.
“Known for its sport-meets-lifestyle ethos, the brand resonates strongly with a younger, dynamic demographic seeking outerwear that combines individuality with innovation.”
“These leadership changes reflect our commitment to building a world-class team that matches the potential of the Perfect Moment brand,” stated Chairman Max Gottschalk. “Chath’s operational expertise, Vittorio’s extensive experience in production, and Jane’s creative leadership provides us a powerful foundation to drive growth and establish Perfect Moment as a leader in the luxury outerwear market.”
Founded in 1984 in the mountains of Chamonix, Perfect Moment is a high-performance, luxury skiwear and lifestyle brand that fuses technical excellence with fashion-led designs, resulting in pieces that transition effortlessly from the slopes to the city, the beach and back again.
“Initially the vision of extreme sports filmmaker and professional skier, Thierry Donard, the brand was built on a sense of adventure that has sustained for over 20 years. Donard, fueled by his personal experiences, was driven by a desire to create pieces that offered quality, style and performance, pushing the wearer in the pursuit of every athlete’s dream: to experience “The Perfect Moment,” said the company.
“In 2012, British-Swiss entrepreneurial couple, Jane and Max Gottschalk, took ownership of the brand. Under Jane Gottschalk’s creative direction, Perfect Moment was injected with a new style focus, one that reignited the spirit of the heritage brand. Driven by a commitment to improving fit, performance and the use of best-in-class, functional materials, the designs evolved into the distinct statement pieces synonymous with how the brand is known today.
“Perfect Moment products are available globally, online and via key retailers, including at MyTheresa, Net-a-Porter, Harrods, Selfridges, Saks, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.”
