Angela Pinkstaff, director of business development, said, “We’re looking forward to diving further into these areas of retail, getting involved in the associations and shows, and learning how our talented team can help improve results for organizations.”

Pinkstaff continued, “Corey has over 20 years of experience in retail at the store management level which is incredibly valuable as he works with manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. His knowledge of store operations, shopper behavior, promotional techniques, and more is going to make him a great resource for clients and our internal teams as well. He is looking forward to putting that expertise to work for our clients.”

Many of those services can also apply to retailers, and our experience in fixture management definitely translates to them, too. I’m excited to learn more so we can help fuel growth.”
