Mary Sullivan Harper, who since 2011, has served as senior vice president of leasing for AmericasMart Atlanta’s building 2 gift showrooms, now will head all building 3 apparel showroom leasing in a significant expansion of responsibilities.
Harper began her AmericasMart tenure in 1997, as vice president of gift leasing. That role expanded in 2006, to the leasing and management of the Living & Entertaining: Gifts, Tabletop & Accessories category, with another promotion following in 2011, when she was named senior vice president of leasing for Building Two and the then-new West Wing expansion.
“Among her many talents, Mary excels in building lasting partnerships, delivering sound advice and helping lay paths to success for our large and growing building 2 showroom community," said Jeffrey Portman, vice chairman and president of AmericasMart parent AMC Inc. "She is well-equipped to lead our apparel permanent exhibitor population with new vision, new energy and fresh collaborative approaches.”
Harper has been named a “Next Generation Gift Leader” by Gift & Decorative Accessories Magazine in 2010. She is a graduate of Auburn University.
