All business development managers and a newly created manager, national accounts position will report to her.

Finally, Randall James has been promoted to manager of trade operations. He will lead the account executives team, helping drive engagement and execution at the field level.

The promotions come as part of a refreshed sales structure, which also saw the departure of Eric Schmit, former director of national accounts and business development.

All three will report directly to Shawn Tubman, senior vice president sales and trade marketing, North America.
