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. Prior to forming Luxury Attaché, Jenene worked as the Director of Guest Relations at CNN for seven years, where she learned to address the exacting demands of high-net-worth clients and developed relationships with hundreds of exclusive vendors.
Ronick attended the University of Colorado, Boulder, and the NYU Stern School of Business for its MBA program. She lives in New York City’s West Village with her husband, Internet entrepreneur David Ronick and their two-year old son. They divide their weekends between their homes in Litchfield, Connecticut, and Bridgehampton, New York.
Luxury Attaché’s President, Paul Jacobsen, joined the team in October 2011 after spending 15+ years in the fashion industry. A New York native who has lived in the city for nearly 20 years, Jacobsen has always possessed a fascination for NYC and its dynamic offerings. Constantly with his finger on the pulse, he is known as the guru of where to be and what to do by both colleagues and friends.
His transition from the fashion world to Luxury Attaché was seamless, and his passion and vigor for culture and natural social skills make him an ideal leader for the growing team. As President, Jacobsen is responsible for corporate strategy, business development, performance management and creation of operational procedures, policies and standards.
Previously, Jacobsen worked at various high-end corporations including Giorgio Armani, Luciano Barbera, John Varvatos, Valentino, LVMH Donna Karan and HMX Group. Assuming a variety of roles within each of these companies, his focus has been within the sales/marketing/advertising and PR departments.
During his tenure at John Varvatos, where he was director of sales, he was imperative in growing the small company into a global brand. In addition to launching the brand’s secondary line, John Varvatos star USA, Paul managed a rapidly expanding team and was at the helm in opening offices worldwide. Following his time at John Varvatos, he was the vice president of all menswear at Valentino and LVMH Donna Karan. Most recently, Jacobsen served as vice president of sportswear at HMX Group for nine brands that generated more than $40 million in total revenue.
Over the course of his career, Charles Walk, partner, has been an unstoppable force of momentum, demonstrating the vision, courage and optimism to keep him at the forefront of an ever-changing entertainment industry. As an entrepreneur, marketing expert, digital pioneer, brand builder and music executive, Walk has consistently delivered beyond the status quo, using innovative tactics to turn products into brands and artists into icons. His groundbreaking style has earned him a number of prestigious accolades throughout the years. Esquire Magazine cited him as a “visionary” who seeks opportunity and innovation. Details Magazine followed suit several months later featuring Walk in their Mavericks Issue, alongside the likes of Ryan Seacrest and Timbaland, as an “agent of change” with the ability to “bend the future to [his] will.”
Walk’s passion for music began as an undergrad at Boston University’s School of Management, where he started as a College Marketing Representative for Sony Music. When Walk graduated in 1990, he officially joined Sony as a full time Marketing and Promotion Manager. He spent the next decade navigating his way through the ranks, taking over the promotion division of Columbia Records in 1999 and eventually assuming oversight of Columbia’s marketing and promotion division as its Executive Vice President. Working with some of the biggest artists in the industry, including Beyonce, Aerosmith, Mariah Carey, Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer and Will Smith, Walk’s executive decisions reflected keen consumer insight and a clear vision of all things pop culture. As evidence of his intuition, Mayer personally thanked Walk during his 2005 Grammy acceptance speech for pushing him to release the winning single, “Daughters,” despite his resistance. This and other moments led to the decision by Sony Music heads to appoint Walk to the position of President of Epic Records in January 2006.
In his three years at its helm, Walk transformed Epic from a traditional record label to a progressive, multi-faceted entertainment company with a fearless approach to innovation. During his tenure, Walk maintained Epic as a creative haven for superstars such as Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Ozzy Osbourne, Duran Duran, Tori Amos, Good Charlotte, George Michael and Jessica Simpson while also pioneering pop culture trends and cultivating edgy new sounds with the signing of artists like The Fray, Natasha Bedingfield, Sean Kingston, The Script and Sara Bareilles.
Today, Walk’s entrepreneurial platform is engaged in several businesses including Luxury Attaché and RJW Collective, a marketing company, as well as CWE Media, which focuses on music and talent management.
