Womenswear online retailer Esther & Co has announced that GM Travis Wright has recently exited the company, with former Mosaic Brands executive John Hardy stepping into her role.

Wright has been at Esther & Co for almost seven years and according to founder and CEO Talita Estelle, she has been “a driving force” at the business, where she helped the brand experience more than five times growth. 

“It has been an incredible journey with her on board and so it is with a heavy heart we announce her departure. The team would like to take this opportunity to thank Travis for all that she has done for Esther and wish her all the love and luck for her next adventure,” Estelle said in a LinkedIn post.

Hardy was previously at fashion giant Mosaic Brands for almost 10 years, half of that time as GM. During his tenure, he led Rockmans, which had an annual turnover of $175 million across 300 stores.

“From the minute I met John, I knew he was the right person to scale Esther to new heights,” Estelle said. “His insurmountable knowledge of the fashion e-commerce space, combined with his agile and analytical mind makes John the perfect ally to help Esther take the next big steps in the world of fashion.”
