AmericasMart Atlanta has named Jill Brady Ford vice president of leasing for the outdoor/casual furnishings category.
Fords appointment to vice president follows a 12-year AmericasMart tenure dating to her original engagement as an intern in 1992 and subsequent appointment to gardens category leasing in 1993. She managed the grand opening of the Gardens in 1994 and continued in Gardens leasing through 2001. Ford returned to AmericasMart Building Two leasing in 2009 and assumed leasing and management of the Gardens in 2010.
Jill is a Gardens stalwart with a deep understanding of the categorys unique demands and dynamics, said Mary Sullivan Harper, senior vice president of leasing for AmericasMart Building Two. She has decisively led our outdoor and casual furnishings franchise expansion and continues to make huge contributions in the development of this huge and growing category.
