DeFabio joins Iconix from Ralph Lauren, where she most recently served as SVP of Business Development and Licensing, a role in which she managed all licensed product categories, including contract terms and negotiations, revenue growth goals, and identifying and acquiring new partners, categories, and geographies.

Before joining Ralph Lauren, she held management positions at Macy’s and May’s department stores.

“We are thrilled to welcome June to Iconix,” said John Haugh, CEO of Iconix. “With our focus on organic growth, June will be instrumental in developing new opportunities for our brands as the business evolves.”

Iconix currently owns, licenses and markets Rocawear, Ecko Unltd., London Fog, Mossimo, Starter and Joe Boxer, and in July sold its entertainment segment, including the Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake brands, to DHX Media for $345 million in cash. The company also acquired the remaining 50% stake in the Iconix Canada joint venture for $19 million.
