Sleep solutions provider Intellibed has announced the addition of Bryant Looper and James Berry as VP of Sales for the U.S. market.
In these roles, Looper and Berry will work closely with the recently promoted EVP of Sales, Dave Wachendorfer. The long-time industry players—who boast more than 30 years of combined experience—will be responsible for collaborating with the company’s valued retail partners to bring the brand’s innovative Gel Matrix technology to a rapidly expanding customer base.
Looper is a demonstrated sales leader, having held senior positions with various manufacturer and retail companies, including Tempur-Pedic/Tempur-Sealy and Mattress Firm. Prior to joining Intellibed, Looper was one of the founding partners responsible for launching ReST (Responsive Surface Technology LLC) in 2015. In this role, he developed the company’s sales processes, implemented product launches and managed the core sales team.
Berry most recently managed a regional sales team and worked closely with retail partners at Bedgear, a bedding technology company. Before this, Berry spent more than seven years with mattress manufacturer, Serta Simmons Bedding Company. His proven track record and service in the industry has resulted in exceptional retail partnerships, product launch success and sales goals achievement.
“Both Bryant and James bring a strong tradition of customer-focused excellence throughout their time in the mattress industry. Their keen insights into the retail bedding market have already proven to be invaluable as we move forward into 2020,” said Dave Wachendorfer, EVP of Sales at Intellibed. “All of us here at Intellibed couldn’t be more excited to have them aboard.”
