by MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Hooker Furnishings has promoted Johne Albanese to chief marketing Officer and Tod Phelps to senior vice president-operations, both new positions within the company.
They report to new CEO Jeremy Hoff.
Albanese is responsible for all marketing initiatives across the company’s 12 brands. He has been with the company for eight years, previously serving as vice president of marketing.
In Phelps’ new position, which is in addition to his current role as chief information officer, he will be responsible for all international and domestic operations. Phelps joined Hooker Furnishings in 2017 as chief information officer.
“Tod and Johne have been valuable members of our executive team. I’m confident that their well-deserved new roles will pay great dividends across the entire company,” CEO Hoff said in a statment.
The promotions are the latest in a recent series of management moves by Hooker, including Hoff’s elevation to CEO following the retirement of former CEO Paul Toms; and the promotions earlier this month of Anne Smith to chief administrative officer and president-domestic upholstery; and Mike Harris to president-Hooker case goods,
