Standard Fiber has hired Jyl Davis as its new vice president of sales and merchandising, joining the company in this role on Jan. 3.
“I am thrilled to join the very talented Standard Fiber team,” Davis said. “The company’s global manufacturing infrastructure and unparalleled textile expertise is well-regarded throughout its impressive customer base and continues to expand. With such strong leadership and Standard Fiber’s ability to quickly respond to marketplace challenges, I am eager to put my skills to work and jump in to help the team drive their sales and merchandising initiatives.”
In her new position, Davis will align with executive leadership on strategic business development to plan and execute merchandising programs with key accounts in the home textiles and bedding accessories categories.
