In her new position at Humanscale, Margles will oversee the Marketing Division, with a focus on promoting the brand’s industry-leading designs and commitment to sustainability through on and off-line platforms across B2B and B2C channels.

“I am thrilled to join a company whose commitment to its products’ function, form, and materiality are unmatched in the industry,” says Margles. “Being able to combine my professional experience and background in sustainability, while working alongside a visionary like Bob King is an opportunity of a lifetime. I can’t wait to tell the story of Humanscale.”

Her expertise in the consumer space and high-end design will be invaluable as we develop our WFH business and continue to build our brand as the leader in innovation and environmental stewardship.”
