Karen Harman is expanding her namesake sportswear company.
The designer, who launched her own collection for fall, named Robin Beitman president, a new post. Most recently, Beitman was a senior manager at Daymon Worldwide, a housewares firm, and earlier was a senior buyer at Lechters.
In addition, Lauren Castle Flynn has joined as vice president of business development. She had her own consulting and imaging business.
They are based at Harman’s headquarters at 209 West 38th Street in New York.
Harman’s brand was launched for fall with a dozen blouses sold exclusively online. For spring, it plans to expand to stores, with the addition of separates and designer tops. The firm has also hired a sales force around the country.
