“We are pleased to appoint John Miller to his new position,” said Chandler. “His experience, skill and industry knowledge make him an asset to our growing PRAVANA brand. He has a long history of strong relationships in his area of expertise and a proven track record for delivering results, making him a valuable part of this new partnership with PRAVANA and Henkel Beauty Care.”
