Our Team

Some concierges sit at phone-banks thousands of miles away. Others stand alone behind a desk in a hotel lobby. We’re here: in the city, in the lifestyle and in the moment. Our team of more than 50 dedicated Attachés have their fingers on the pulse, and have first-hand knowledge of the services and experiences they suggest.

After selective recruiting and comprehensive training, each Attaché is carefully matched with an account, based on demographic, work style, personality and skill set. This single touchpoint allows for full accountability and seamless, same-day turnaround. Dedicated Attachés build deep relationships with clients, so they can suggest personalized recommendations, both proactively and reactively.

Luxury Attaché Executive Team:

Jenene Ronick, Founder and CEO of Luxury Attaché

Jenene Ronick established Luxury Attaché in 2005 after seven years of excelling in the concierge business.

With a career devoted to luxury lifestyle management, Ronick recognized the demand for personalized and professional concierge service. She developed Luxury Attaché as a concierge company dedicated first to enhancing the lives of the discerning clientele living in New York City, the Hamptons, and now the world over. Her successes include being selected as Fortune 500 CEO’s most sought-after concierge.

At Luxury Attaché, Ronick brings her unparalleled reputation and extensive network of well-cultivated connections to help clients execute the most extraordinary of requests.

She lives in New York City’s West Village with her husband, Internet entrepreneur David Ronick and their sons. They divide their weekends between their homes in Litchfield, Connecticut, and Bridgehampton, New York.

Jessica Gordon, Director of Employee Development & Client Relations

For Jessica Gordon, luxury concierge service begins with a smile and ends with the affirmation that anything is possible. Gordon is not only able to meet, but also anticipate each client’s needs with unwavering dedication and infectious positivity. Her finely honed contact list is a true testament to her love of New York City and passion for seeking out and staying on top of the latest the city has to offer.

Gordon joined the Luxury Attaché team in 2008, and she also spent time working as the lead concierge at a boutique hotel in Midtown Manhattan, working diligently with new and returning guests of the hotel to maximize their New York City experience.

Recently, Gordon spearheaded Town Residential’s partnership with Luxury Attaché, establishing and managing the concierge service as an integral part of the client experience. Currently, as Director of Employee Development & Client Relations, she manages the Luxury Attaché concierge team across all projects and initiatives, which is a position that requires attention 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Passion, initiative and creativity are all hallmarks of Gordon’s approach that has helped her bring client service to the next level. In her words, “I have come to know that anything is possible. It just takes a certain finesse.”
