Richmond-based top bedding producer Symbol has promoted Roxanne Hrkman to the newly created position of vice president of demand management. She will report to Symbol President Mike McQuiston.
Hrkman was manager of customer service for the past four years.
In her new role she will be responsible for inventory planning, control and forecasting. She will continue to lead customer service in addition to overseeing purchasing of fabrics and tapes and supporting the company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system upgrade.
“Our growth over the last few years has created the need for a demonstrated leader to manage and coordinate our entire inventory supply chain. Roxanne's skill set in this position will allow Symbol to better purchase, forecast, manage inventories, and produce more efficiently,” said McQuiston.
“This newly created position is part of our long-term strategic growth plan, and we are proud to have Roxanne in it,” he continued.
Hrkman joined Symbol in 2013 as an inventory analyst and a year later advanced to the role of customer service manager. Prior to that, she was with Leggett & Platt for approximately 10 years in the areas of quality assurance, purchasing, customer service, materials and master scheduling and sales.
