When we open a store on Main Street all of a sudden the chocolatier, the dry cleaner, see their businesses skyrocket."[11] On March 13, 2014, it was announced that Feroce had left the company and founder and creative director, Carolyn Rafaelian, was appointed interim CEO.[12] In 2014, Feroce acquired the license and trademarks for Benrus with the intention of transforming Benrus into a lifestyle brand with wristwatches as the core element.[13] Feroce hired host and model Camille Kostek to become the brand's ambassador.[14] In 2017, Feroce exited Benrus after transferring ownership from the previous owner to a new third party.[15] He is currently a strategic advisor at Giovanni Feroce Consulting.[16] He is listed as the top second of the top 100 income-tax-delinquents by the state of Rhode Island, owing $1,010,353.94 as of December 2018 to Rhode Island.[17] [18]PhilanthropyFeroce has been an executive leader for the American Heart Association HeartBall since 2012 and was Chair of the 2014 event.
