Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.--Paul Moonga is the new CEO of Endless Jewelry International, replacing founder Jesper Nielsen, who will remain on board but focus on overall brand development while Moonga handles day-to-day operations.
Moonga has experience building brands and profitable telecom companies in a number of international markets, Nielsen said, and has operated brand franchises in the fashion industry.
“This appointment will both strengthen the structure in senior management as well as streamline our day-to-day business operations,” he said. “At the same time, (this) provides the opportunity and allows me to focus more of my resources on the overall development of the Endless brand and our expanding product categories … as well as on the continued expansion of the Endless Jewelry footprint worldwide.”
Endless Jewelry is a line of stainless steel, sterling silver and gold-plated bracelets and charms that is carried in dozens of retail stores across the country. The company’s North and South American operations are based out of Ft. Lauderdale.
Nielsen added that Endless’s shareholders have “decided to execute a significant capital injection to secure an even more solid foundation for the company,” coming off a “phenomenal” week at the recent JCK Las Vegas show where the brand racked up nearly seven figures in sales.
“We welcome (Moonga) to his new position and look forward to taking Endless Jewelry to the next level on a global scale,” Nielsen said.
