Russin adds to sales force
Russin, the New York building materials distributor and manufacturer has announced the hire of Kimberley Rodriguez and Brendan Carney to the company’s outside sales team.
These hires increase the headcount of Russin’s sales force and will enable even deeper penetration to already growing markets, the company said.
Rodriguez comes to Russin after a varied career with a major building supply dealer, filling many roles and growing within the industry. Based in Charlton, Mass. Rodriguez is covering Rhode Island as well as Massachusetts in her new role at Russin. She brings a polish and panache to her sales methodology that will make her a great fit for Russin’s customer mix, the company said.
Carney has most recently owned and operated a contracting firm in the Batavia, N.Y. area where he is based. A lifelong student of the industry, Carney has been involved with everything from deck builds and small remodeling projects to tackling full home renovations. He brings a technical know-how to his sales effort that will be valued at Russin, and will be covering both the Western New York and Western Pennsylvania markets for the company.
“Finding great people is especially challenging right now,” said Jordan Russin, Russin co-president. “Our culture makes it that much more so – we need folks who are not only great performers, but strong fits for how our company likes to work and support its customer base. I’m so excited to learn from Kim and Brendan as they grow into their roles.”
Based in Montgomery, N.Y., Russin Lumber is a manufacturer and distributor of building materials covering 13 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states.
The company owns and operates distribution, milling, and factory finishing facilities.
