QVC Names New Chief Financial Officer

West Chester-based QVC will have a new Chief Financial Officer beginning next month.

Ted Jastrzebski will oversee QVC’s enormous financial operations as CFO. He was appointed to the position left vacant last week by the retirement of Dan O'Connell, a 25-year QVC veteran. QVC announced O’Connell’s plan to retire in Spring 2013 back in August of 2012.

According to an announcement from QVC, "Jastrzebski will serve as a strategic business partner and key member of QVC’s Global Executive Committee.  He will manage all corporate financial responsibilities, including planning and analysis, accounting, payables, payroll, customer finance, tax, treasury and strategic procurement. Jastrzebski will be based at QVC’s global headquarters in West Chester."

Jastrzebski comes to QVC from the Hershey Company.  Most recently he served as Senior Vice President and President of Hershey Americas, where he oversaw all Hershey activities in Canada, Latin America, world travel retail and export markets.
