Ben Radoll, Stephanie Pereira, and George Gikas have joined the company in newly created management positions.

“Castelle is proud of the advances it is making in the areas of product development and support and distribution channel growth,” said Mark Stephens, president. “With the addition of these individuals to our management team, our commitment to our sales and marketing staff and their efforts is evident."

“Ben, Stephanie, and George all are tremendous professionals and we look forward to their contributions in each of their areas that will prove to enhance and grow Castelle’s position in the casual and contract channels,” Stephens added.

Radoll has joined Castelle as vice president of merchandising and market development for all Pride Family Brands/Castelle divisions and will lead new product introductions as well as trade show and marketing initiatives. He will be accountable for delivering a product portfolio architecture that will achieve company sales and margin goals as well as objectives by assessing market and company performance within all channels.

As the vice president of sales for the eastern United States, Pereira joins Castelle with the responsibility of support and guidance for the Castelle territory managers in that region. She will report to the senior vice president of sales, Rory Rehmert, and lead the development and execution of the company’s retail sales initiatives and provide retail partners with the tools and resources needed to grow their businesses.

With more than 25 years in the home furnishings industry and an extensive background in the contract and hospitality category, Gikas looks to expand upon the current Castelle Contract division as vice president of contract sales.
