WALL, N.J.–Longtime tabletop executives Moira Gavin and Lou Scala have left WWRD, which includes the Waterford, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton brands, under an executive reorganization directed by Pierre de Villemejane, chief executive officer.
Michael Craig succeeds Scala, who was group vice president of the Americas for WWRD. Craig most recently was vice president of marketing at WWRD and has been with the company for three years.
The company said it is searching for a replacement for Gavin, who served as executive vice president of sales and marketing.
The company was acquired by KPS Capital Partners earlier this year and soon afterwards Gavin’s and Scala’s roles and titles were changed to reflect their most recent positions. Scala had been the U.S. president of Waterford, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton before being named group vice president, while Gavin had been chief executive officer of Wedgwood worldwide. Gavin and Scala have both held senior positions at other tabletop companies.
