Cornerstone Brands Leadership Update

After a 25-year journey with the company, Ryan McKelvey, President of Cornerstone Brands, has announced his retirement. 

Ryan first joined Ballard Designs in 2000. Rising to President of Ballard in 2008, and later, President of CBI in 2020, his leadership has been pivotal. Ryan guided CBI through expansive retail store growth and the implementation of D365 to redefine the digital experience for the brands. Most recently, Ryan has been leading through CBI 3.0, the company’s transformation journey. 

We will commence a search for a new President of Cornerstone. In the interim, Tom Bazzone, President of Frontgate, will assume leadership responsibility and report to David Rawlinson, President and CEO, QVC Group, Inc., effective immediately. Ryan will remain with the company for a transition period. 

We wish Ryan well in his retirement and thank him for his many contributions.
