Atlanta — Retailer Leath Furniture has promoted Jolene Takemura to vice president of merchandising and Ray Humphrey to upholstery buyer.

Takemura came to Leath from Woodbury, N.Y.-based Seaman's Furniture, where she had worked since 1986.
Humphrey, who reports to Takemura, had been the buyer of bedding, sofa-sleepers, recliners and occasional furniture at Leath since 1997. Before joining the company, he was a buyer at Rich's, a Federated department store, since 1988.
