OPI Products announced John Heffner as the brand’s new president and general manager. With this change, George Schaeffer remains founder and CEO, and Suzi Weiss-Fischmann will retain her title as executive vice president and artistic director. “We’re thrilled to have John join the OPI family, as the nail industry is absolutely booming," says Schaeffer. "OPI has been experiencing double digit growth both domestically and internationally. In welcoming John, Suzi and I will be able to increase our focus on growing the brand both from an innovative standpoint and in new markets. We’re not going anywhere; we plan on being at OPI for years to come.”
Heffner brings his long-standing expertise in the beauty and nail industries to this position, most recently serving as president and CEO for Creative Nail Design (CND), where he worked for 14 years. Prior to joining CND, Heffner held multiple sales and marketing roles within Chesebrough Ponds USA, as well as the Procter and Gamble Company.
