Jason Goldberger, who was CEO of online jewellery retailer Blue Nile, has resigned from his post just about 18 months after he took over the reins of the company, according to media reports.

While no public announcement has been made by the company, the reports said that a spokesperson had confirmed that Goldberger had resigned. The company also added that Eric Anderson, executive vice president at Bain Capital Private Equity, has been appointed as the interim CEO in the period till a new CEO is selected.

Bain Capital, along with Bow Street and Adama Partners acquired Blue Nile in 2017. They confirmed to the media that they were continuing to invest in the company as per the strategic priorities and for “new capabilities to accelerate growth”.

Goldberger had headed the e-commerce initiative of Target prior to joining Blue Nile and had earlier worked at Gilt.com, Hayneedle, and Amazon, the reports said.

Blue Nile, which came into existence as a pure jewellery e-tailer has subsequently opened six physical stores, where the online products can be physically checked and tried on. Sales and purchases, however, continue to be carried out only through the digital mode.
