LOGAN, Utah – Malouf Home has restructured its sales leadership to support its international and domestic growth and has named Eric Holmstead, president, a new position for the company. Holmstead was the company’s director of sales prior to his promotion.
Malouf has also named Jesse Gibbs, vice president of national sales, and Jeff Holmstead, vice president of international sales. Under the new structure, the company said it will be able to expand its opportunities in the home furnishings industry while growing its relationships with international partners.
“With Jeff and Jesse transitioning into these new roles, we will keep offering the same service our retailers know and love, and they’ll continue to launch Malouf into new markets and categories,” Eric Holmstead said. “Jeff and Jesse are both industry experts and have proven their commitment to helping our retail partners succeed. I’m excited to see the impact they will continue to make.”
Prior to his promotion, Jeff Holmstead was former U.S. West district manager, was one of the first salespeople Malouf hired more than eight years ago. Before joining the company, he managed a furniture and bedding retail store.
“We’ve seen more interest from our international retail partners, and I’m looking forward to working more closely with them,” said Jeff Holmstead. “With this new sales structure, my job will be focused on international territories and making sure we are capitalizing on the best opportunities and providing the best service to our partners.”
Prior to the restructuring, Gibbs was the U.S. East district manager for the Malouf sales team. During his more than five-year tenure with the company, Gibbs has developed retail relationships while promoting collaboration across the sales team. Gibbs is a military veteran and former franchise business trainer.
“I’m excited to continue helping our valued retail partners grow their businesses,” Gibbs said. “Malouf has grown very rapidly in recent years. A few big wins for our company include the launch of Salt Flat furniture and the Peak mattress line. Now we’re entering a new phase of growth, and we want to recommit to what got us here: our people-first approach to business.”
Malouf’s sales team includes more than 40 in-house team members and 60 outside field representatives that manage more than 6,000 retail partnerships across North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Australia.
