HIGH POINT — Veteran leasing executive Walt Goldsby has joined the International Home Furnishings Center as vice president of leasing, a new position for High Point’s largest showroom building.
He will work with Tom Loney, IHFC executive vice president, in overseeing leasing at the 3.5 million-square-foot complex. Goldsby and Loney report to Tom Lindh, president and CEO.
“Walt’s fresh perspective and knack for creating and sustaining greater business opportunities for retailers and designers means greater value for our roster of important exhibitors,” Lindh said.
Goldsby most recently was vice president of sales for Merchandise Mart Properties Inc. in High Point, where he headed a staff of eight leasing managers. MMPI owns several downtown showroom buildings including Market Square, Plaza Suites, Furniture Plaza and the National Furniture Mart.
Earlier, he was group vice president of VNU Expositions, an Atlanta-based trade show producer.
