Julep Beauty has named Dwight Gaston as its Chief Delivery Officer. Gaston will oversee Julep’s operations, customer service, fulfillment, and product development teams to ensure efficient delivery of products to its dedicated customers.

Julep develops more than 300 new products each year for its Maven subscribers and e-commerce customers, and shipments are growing exponentially as more beauty enthusiasts discover Julep’s range of toxin-free nail, skincare, and makeup products.

With more than 20 years’ experience in the e-commerce and technology industries, Gaston joins Julep from online jewelry retailer Blue Nile, where he spent the past 15 years in executive roles. Most recently, he was Blue Nile’s senior vice president of operations, and previously served as vice president of operations and director of fulfillment operations. Earlier in his career, Gaston was a consultant with Bain & Company. He holds a BA in Economics from Rice University and an MBA from Harvard University.

“After two decades in the e-commerce industry, I can honestly say I’ve never seen a more innovative consumer retail company than Julep,” said Gaston. “Julep customers are fanatical about the brand, and the company uses social and mobile to connect with this passionate community to find out exactly which products resonate and which don’t. Julep is on a tear and I’m excited to join the company to help build a distribution network that can scale with this tremendous growth.”
