Phil Haney, president and CEO of Lexington Home Brands, has taken on the additional role of CEO of fellow Sun Capital Partners' brand Rowe Furniture. 

Haney has named Bob Choppa, president of Rowe, and Craig Spooner has been named chief operating officer.

Stefanie Lucas, former Rowe president, will assist Haney and his team in the transition before leaving to pursue other opportunities.

"Rowe Furniture is a tremendous company with a great heritage, a company rich in talent and fortunate to have great dealers and industry supply partners," Haney said. "Our goal is to return Rowe to its industry leading position of style, quality, value and service for which it is famous and to do this through exciting new products and merchandising programs."

Rowe will remain an independent company with separate headquarters, manufacturing facilities, showrooms and sales organizations, according to a company release.

"We want to maintain the distinct culture and heritage of Rowe and build on a great history of success and mutually profitable relationships with our dealers," Haney said.
