Prior to serving as Chairman of Filene's/Kaufman's, Mr. Geraghty served as Chief Financial Officer of that organization and held various other senior positions within the May organization, Marshall's and Abraham and Strauss.

"Michael Geraghty will be an extremely valuable addition to the Fortunoff team," said Arnie Orlick, CEO of Fortunoff. "He has had tremendous success overseeing the operations and finance functions of a major retailer and Fortunoff will certainly benefit from his expertise in a variety of areas."

"I am excited to have Michael as a partner and feel that, together, we can build on Fortunoff's 80-year heritage of providing customers with great merchandise at great values, while providing a high degree of customer service."

"I am extremely excited to join the Fortunoff team and help build upon the Company's many years of success," said Mr. Geraghty.

"For years, Fortunoff has been the leading retailer of home furnishings and jewelry in the tri-state region, offering its customers luxurious merchandise and personalized customer service at affordable prices." "

I believe there is tremendous potential to expand upon that foundation, and I look forward to working closely with Arnie Orlick and the many exceptional people who have built Fortunoff into a unique retailer."
