Kelly Gray Is New St. John President

St. John Knits Inc. said Monday that Kelly Gray has replaced President Robert C. Davis, who resigned to pursue other interests.

Gray, daughter of St. John founder and Chairman Robert Gray, has been serving as executive vice president and creative director, as well as a member of the company’s corporate board. Gray has also been handling design responsibilities for the St. John and Griffith & Gray product lines of women’s clothing and accessories.

“I, together with the other members of the board of directors, want to publicly thank Bob Davis for his contributions,” Robert Gray said.

Davis, who spent 16 years with St. John, said he has no immediate plans other than to spend more time with his wife and two young children. He will remain with the company for about a month and then serve St. John as a consultant.
