Strategy, Design Firm Info Retail Restructures

Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, July 19, 2011

ATLANTA - Info Retail, a strategy and design agency, has announced a strategic realignment of its business.
The firm said the initiative is designed to leverage its expertise in bedding and furniture markets and to expand its offerings into new business markets.
     "We continue to redefine our core business to better serve our expanding client base," said Ron Bushman, president of Info Retail. The firm adjusted positions and has added a number of professionals in areas including business development and account management.
     The company is repositioning its client services and accounts management units into one group, the client services team. In connection with that change, Info Retail made these appointments:
     Cindy Williams, previously vice president of retail strategy/furnishings, has been named vice president of client services and will lead the customer services team. She will maintain her primary responsibility in the bedding and furniture markets.
     "Our focus will be to discover opportunities where our strategy, design and solution management services can be applied to help clients to innovate and to increase return on investment in customer environments," Williams said.
     Jacqueline LaScala has joined the company as director of business development. She will lead the company's expansion into new markets. She has worked in media sales for 22 years, most recently as an account executive at Microsoft.
     Suzanne Donohoe has joined the company as account manager in the home improvement market. She will assist clients with implementing their service objectives and customer environment strategies. Prior to joining Info Retail, Donohoe worked for more than eight years in merchandise marketing manager and media at Home Depot.
     Nathan Shannon has been named account and new business development manager in the furnishings and bedding markets. He will expand Info Retail's offerings to clients in home furnishings and sleep products manufacturing and retailing. Previously, Shannon owned a wholesale furniture business and was a sales representative for Klaussner Home Furnishings and memory foam importer Spirit Sleep.
     Betsy Gardner, previously project manager, has been named account manager and a member of the company's strategic overview team.
     Brooks Ballard, previously director of marketing, has been named director of business intelligence. Prior to joining Info Retail in 2007, Ballard was senior manager of e-business and manager of corporate marketing/merchandising at HomeBanc Mortgage and account manager at Georgia-Pacific.
