For the last two years, Prillaman has overseen the company’s U.S. case goods operations.

In his new role, Prillaman is responsible for case goods warehousing and distribution, supply chain, logistics, quality, compliance and facilities management in the U.S. and abroad.  Bill Reece, Hooker’s vice president of Asian operations, reports to Prillaman. Reece oversees product development, quality, and sourcing operations in China, Vietnam and Indonesia. 

“Given the close working relationship necessary between our Asia team and their U.S. counterparts for vendor management, logistics, quality and compliance, it makes sense to have all of these functions reporting up through one individual,” said Paul Toms, CEO. “Scott has proven over the last 25 years to be an excellent manager with strong critical thinking, listening and interpersonal skills. He has both the ability and capacity to take on these additional responsibilities.”

Prillaman has been with Hooker for 25 years in roles including warehousing, shipping, safety and environmental compliance.

He reports to Toms.
