Ashley Bryan has been named president of Ramy Brook, the contemporary sportswear company. It is the first president for the company, which was founded in 2010 by Ramy Brook Sharp, co-chief executive officer and creative director.
The appointment marks a key step in Ramy Brook’s continued growth, bringing experienced leadership to support the brand’s long-term strategic goals.
Bryan joins the company with nearly 30 years of experience leading growth and transformation across luxury and premium consumer brands. Most recently, she was chief marketing officer at L’Agence and previously held that title at Moda Operandi. She has also held senior leadership posts at Net-a-porter, BCBGMaxAzria and St. John Knits.
“Ramy has built a remarkable brand with a distinctive creative vision and an intuitive understanding of how women want to look and feel. That vision, combined with exceptional leadership and the strength of the team they’ve assembled, creates an extraordinary foundation for the future. I’m thrilled to join them at such an exciting moment in the company’s evolution and look forward to building on that foundation, expanding the brand’s reach, and helping shape its next chapter of growth,” said Bryan.
In her new role, Bryan will work closely with Sharp and the broader leadership team to guide the company’s strategic direction and support its continued development within the contemporary fashion market.
“As Ramy Brook continues to grow, bringing Ashley on as our first president is an exciting milestone for the business. Ashley brings a wealth of experience along with a deep understanding of what it takes to build and grow a leading brand. I’m excited to partner with her as we continue to build on the strong foundation we’ve created, expand our opportunities and bring the Ramy Brook vision to even more women,” said Sharp.
Bryan reports to Ramy and Rob Sharp, co-CEOs.
