Director of Human Resources

At Brighton, creating products that accessorize women stylishly from head to toe is our passion. As a Los Angeles-based, family-owned company, we started out by crafting men's belts that reflected a dedication to detailed handwork. Made of the finest leathers, each one had the feel of a one-of-a-kind piece from an artisan's workbench. Our company has grown over the years, evolving to also become a women's accessory line with many types of products, yet our ownership and vision remain the same. Each season, our diverse and talented design team and craftsmen create new and modern versions of timeless accessories that are crafted in the unique Brighton manner, so that women can continue to collect fashion-relevant pieces that can be treasured over time.

Passionate and Enthusiastic Fashion Industry Retail Professional responsible for Managing Brighton Retail's Human Resources Team. Adhering to the Companies Retail Mission Statement: "Our Mission is to create a warm and and wonderful shopping experience that exceeds our customer's expectations and inspires them to come back often". We are Brighton! A company with "HEART" - It is fitting that Brighton is known for it's heart logo. A silver heart dangles from every handbag and adorns many of the products in the collection. The heart logo is so appropriate because we put our heart and soul into everything we do. People Matter - It all adds up to make us successful in how we engage, share and inspire. We know people matter most. We are committed to attracting and developing partners that know they make the difference in the business. That's why we have PARTNERS, not Associates, or employees. Jerry Kohl began this business and his personal involvement sets the stage for a business "Partnership". We believe that running a and maintaining a business takes the combined effort of many talented individuals, and that one individual can make a difference.
