MONTHLY UPDATE: AUGUST 2016
Gabby Update
Reps Stealing Breakfast
William White, c.m.o. & Gabby president
July order entry is up over last year thanks to an above average July Atlanta market for Gabby. The crowds seemed lighter
than normal for this market but a lot of the right buyers were there shopping the Gabby showroom. We had a great party
on Friday night that included a wine tasting, hors d’oeuvres and a DJ. And now it’s time for Las Vegas market as we host
the “Best of the West Designers” in our showroom. Gabby will continue to expand our relationship with the best, most
influential designers in the marketplace.
We have very exciting personnel news this month! Beth Sherer was announced as
Executive VP of Gabby and will take on an active role in managing the day to day
business. This will also help free up William to focus on marketing initiatives for all of
the brands. She comes with a passion for our company and several years of experience
as an executive in retail merchandising and buying in the mid to high end department
store world.
We would also like to welcome Benson Sebial who joins the Gabby Asia team as a
Technical Furniture Engineer. Benson is from the Philippines and will report to Pam
Cheung, VP of Operations for Asia. His responsibilities will include new product
development specifications, safety, quality, production tracking and sourcing in
Vietnam. He will also lead Sam and Andy, our two capable QC managers on the
ground. Welcome, Beth and Benson!
The Gabby team would like to recognize and thank our Asia team for their tireless efforts to improve our quality and
production lead times. These folks are the unsung heroes behind the scenes that do their best to keep us on the path of
continuous improvement. Pam, William, Wright look forward to leading another annual Asia Summit in early August
with this exceptional team. Travel safe everyone!
