RH has appointed Veronica Schnitzius as its president and chief manufacturing and sourcing officer, the home goods company said in a press release on Friday. 

Schnitzius will oversee the company’s efforts to unite its owned-and-operated, joint-ventured and outsourced manufacturing operations under a single, international manufacturing platform. 

Additionally, David Stanchak is returning as chief real estate officer and transformation officer, the company said in a release on Thursday. He is resuming his role leading RH’s global real estate expansion and North American gallery transformation, a position he held from 2015 through 2021.

With an eye toward its real estate, manufacturing and sourcing strategies, RH has added more executives to its leadership team. 

RH’s furniture business represents 80% of the company’s brand revenue. By bringing together its various manufacturing operations, the furniture purveyor is taking a page from the playbook of luxury brands that maintain control over their manufacturing, product quality and operational capacity, the company explained in its Schnitzius hiring announcement. 

Before joining RH, Schnitzius spent 24 years at American Leather, where she held positions such as plant manager, vice president of operations, chief operations officer and most recently as president. 

“We are delighted to welcome Veronica to Team RH,” Gary Friedman, RH chairman and CEO, said in a press release. “She and her team at American Leather have been important partners of our brand for over a decade. We have witnessed and experienced the impact of her leadership and unmatched energy as both a manufacturing executive and a collaborative partner.”

Meanwhile, Stanchak brings forty years of experience in real estate as an investor, broker, attorney and senior executive. During his career, he has overseen the openings of more than 2,500 retail stores and deployed over $2.5 billion of capital for some of the largest retailers in the U.S., including RH, the company announcement said. He will lead RH’s efforts to monetize its real estate assets in the U.S. and Europe. 

“His leadership expanding our Gallery platform globally, transforming our legacy stores into Design Galleries with integrated restaurants, wine and barista bars across North America, and pioneering sale–leaseback development projects contributed to the positioning of RH as the leading luxury home furnishings brand in North America,” Friedman said of Stanchak. 

Overall, the home sector has been struggling since its highs during the pandemic as consumers pull back on discretionary spending. In its Financial Health Rating assessment, RapidRatings scored RH as medium risk for default, compared to its high risk rating a year ago.  

In a December letter to shareholders, Friedman stated that RH’s rebound is occurring amid an unusual housing environment, supply chain disruptions and tariff concerns. 

“There have been 16 different tariff announcements over the past 10 months that have resulted in significant resourcing, product delays, out of stocks, and driven multiple rounds of price negotiations and increases,” Friedman wrote. “Despite the chaos, we continue to demonstrate our ability to gain meaningful market share while aggressively investing in strategies that we believe will create long term strategic separation.”
