MUNICH (April 21, 2021) – Luxury e-commerce platform Mytheresa is delighted to announce that
Heather Kaminetsky will join Mytheresa June 1st, 2021 as President North America. Heather brings a
wealth of consumer-centered experience in working both in fashion and digital with companies such
as Net-a-Porter, Borderfree, Barneys New York and most recently as Chief Brand Officer of direct-toconsumer startup M.Gemi. She will be responsible for all Mytheresa customer facing activities in the North American market including Personal Shopping, Communication and Affiliate Marketing.
The set-up of a fully dedicated customer-facing team in North America is a logical next step in
Mytheresa’s aggressive expansion strategy to increase brand awareness and market share both in
the US and Canada. In the first 6 months of the current FY2021, Mytheresa reported for the US a
share of 11,5% of total net revenues compared to a 10,5% share in the first 6 months of FY2020. This
equals an increase of approx. 43% in the first half of FY2021 compared to FY2020.
Michael Kliger, CEO of Mytheresa says “The US is an important growth market for Mytheresa. It is a
game-changer for us to have a dedicated local team to make more consumers aware of our unique
value proposition and to deliver the first-class shopping experience that our customers expect.
Heather has proven in the past that she can scale brand awareness and a customer base for
companies such as Net-a-Porter and Barneys New York, thus we are extremely delighted to welcome
her as the new President of Mytheresa North America. This marks another milestone for Mytheresa in
our ambition to become the leading curated platform in luxury fashion.”
Heather Kaminetsky adds "I am thrilled to join Mytheresa leading the business in North America. I am
exhilarated by the strong business and brand positioning that Mytheresa has built in the past years,
and I look forward to significantly scaling the market share and presence over the next years.”
As part of its growth strategy, the digital luxury fashion platform just launched a brand awareness
campaign emphasizing Mytheresa’s unique positioning combining a highly curated selection of more
than 200 of the most coveted luxury brands and unparalleled, personalized customer experience for
high-end luxury customers. The campaign includes multiple activities such as:

offering the friends of WSJ a dynamic and irreverent series featuring high-profile
personalities. The series lives in-book, as a digital event and a video series.

designer, celebrated author, culinary and visual storyteller, and creative director.
