The RealReal announced former Neiman Marcus Group CEO Karen Katz and Good American CEO and Co-Founder and SKIMS Founding Partner Emma Grede have joined its board of directors. These appointments are the latest advancements in The RealReal’s ongoing work to create a board reflective of its diverse community. Katz brings more than 30 years of deep luxury and retail experience having helmed Neiman Marcus Group and served as its director. Among her accomplishments, Katz leveraged Neiman Marcus’ brick-and-mortar presence (40+ Neiman Marcus stores, Bergdorf Goodman in New York and the Last Call Off-Price division) to launch its omnichannel strategy, integrating customers’ online and in-store experiences through technology and personalization. Grede lends valuable retail and brand marketing experience, having founded both Good American—the first fully size-inclusive fashion brand, which reached $1 million in sales on its first day of release—and, before that, ITB Worldwide, a talent management and marketing firm beloved by luxury brands including Vivienne Westwood and Christian Dior. As a Black female leader and innovator in inclusive fashion, Grede is a champion for diverse and inclusive representation at all levels of internal and external business operations, having built companies upon those values. In another milestone moment, the company has also promoted former Chief Operating Officer Rati Levesque to the role of President. As The RealReal’s first employee, Levesque has been a critical part of building the business since day one. Having led the company’s merchandising team, then expanded her focus to include operations, she has a deep understanding of the business from every perspective. The RealReal’s Chief Revenue Officer will now report to Levesque, allowing the company to more tightly couple consignor servicing with its brick-and-mortar rollout—an important element in its work to provide a unified, cross-channel consignor experience.
