Jenny Heinzen York, former editor of the trade publication Home Accents Today, has been named vice president of home at AmericasMart, a new position for the Atlanta market center.
In her new post, Heinzen York assumes the lead role in articulating the AmericasMart Home brand story to the home furnishings industry.
Jeffrey Portman Sr., vice chairman, president and chief operating officer of AmericasMart, said her hiring also signals continuing growth for the Atlanta Market’s expansive home furnishings product mix.
“Jenny brings to us a deep and expansive knowledge of the home industry across every dimension of its operation, influence and reach, from product design and manufacturing to wholesale distribution and — perhaps most importantly — the increasingly complex environment of home furnishings retailing and consumer buying behavior,” said Portman. “Her view is global, her command of industry inner workings exhaustive and her reputation among manufacturers, designers and retailers impeccable.”
Heinzen York’s responsibilities will include creation and development of digital and print media content, seminar content programming and presentation, home industry leadership organization participation and feature roles in AMC-TV original video productions. She will work interdepartmentally with primary concentrations in AmericasMart’s publishing, proprietary media and marketing teams.
The next Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market begins Jan. 10.
