These strategic additions reinforce Empire’s continued investment in its workplace division while supporting the company’s broader diversification across the hospitality, residential, and retail sectors. Following its recent rebrand from Empire Office to Empire & Co., the company continues to evolve its legacy as a single-source partner delivering comprehensive, design-forward environments nationwide.

“Andrea and Maddie each bring invaluable expertise, deep regional market knowledge, and a highly relationship-driven approach to sales,” said Jocelyn Corrigan, COO of Empire & Co. “As we continue to expand our capabilities and reach, their commitment to excellence will be instrumental in strengthening our presence in Atlanta and New York City while helping clients navigate the ever-evolving future of workplace design.”

Irwin brings nearly a decade of industry experience and a strong track record of driving business growth through strategic client partnerships to her role. Irwin first entered the industry in 2017, working in MillerKnoll’s dealer network before joining Empire & Co. She has built her career on elevating workplace standards and helping clients create environments that balance functionality, design excellence, quality, and cost.

As Vice President of Sales, New York City, at Empire & Co., Irwin will focus on expanding the company’s presence by cultivating new business opportunities, strengthening existing relationships, and guiding clients through every stage of the project lifecycle, from workplace strategy and standards development to execution and ongoing support. Her collaborative, solutions-oriented approach positions the firm to further capitalize on growth opportunities in one of the nation’s most dynamic commercial markets.

“Improving workplace standards has always been a core focus throughout my career,” said Irwin. “Joining Empire & Co. allows me to continue that mission while helping shape the company’s strategic vision and long-term growth in the New York City market.”

Andrea Boggs, VP of Sales, Atlanta

Boggs’ career spans over 20 years of experience across sales, management, and leadership within the architecture and design community. Before transitioning into sales and leadership roles, she worked as a hospitality designer, setting a strong foundation in design and client collaboration. She is known for her thoughtful, strategic approach to building strong client relationships and developing high-performing teams.

As Vice President of Sales, Atlanta, at Empire & Co., Boggs will lead the new business development sales team in Atlanta and specialize in supporting existing and new clients and partners in the region, aligning business strategy with design intent and long-term growth. Her leadership style emphasizes collaboration, trust, and clear communication, helping teams deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes. Andrea’s diverse expertise and strategic approach make her a valuable addition to Empire & Co.’s sales team as the firm continues to expand its presence and impact in Atlanta.

“After spending much of my career leading sales within the A&D community, joining Empire & Co. felt like a natural fit,” said Boggs. “I’m excited to apply my experience and perspective to help grow the firm’s regional presence and strengthen the incredible relationships we have with our clients and partners.”

Together, Irwin’s and Bogg’s appointments underscore Empire & Co.’s commitment to strengthening its workplace leadership while diversifying its capabilities across a broader spectrum of industries. As the company continues to expand nationally, their leadership will play a critical role in driving regional growth, deepening client partnerships, and advancing Empire & Co.’s mission to deliver customized, high-performance interior solutions at every scale.
