Finance Veteran to Join Revolve Board
Retail finance veteran Marc Stolzman was appointed to the board of directors of Revolve, immediately joining the board of the Los Angeles–area e-commerce emporium.
Currently, Stolzman is the chief finance officer for satellite-antenna makers Kymeta Corp. When he worked as CFO for e-commerce retailer Zulily Inc., it went through an initial public offering. When he worked as a CFO for Zumiez Inc., the mall-based action-sports chain acquired European retailer Blue Tomato, according to Stolzman’s LinkedIn profile.
Revolve was started in 2003 by Michael Mente and Mike Karanikolas. The founders, known as The Two Mikes, generally have kept a low profile while selling online high-end fashion items such as designer and premium-denim. The site offers more than 500 brands and powers the luxury e-commerce site Forward by Elyse Walker, Karanikolas said.
“We will benefit from Marc’s extensive financial, international and strategic experience, and we look forward to working with Marc as we build and position Revolve for our next phase of growth,” Karanikolas said.
Stolzman said he was looking forward to providing his insight. “I’m excited to collaborate with the company’s impressive leadership team and think my experience growing companies domestically and internationally will help add to their already successful track record.”
