Karndean Designflooring has announced changes to its executive management team with an eye toward “increasing the company’s overall strategic support system and aid in its tremendous growth.” As of Oct. 6, vice president of retail sales, Larry Browder, will become CEO for Karndean USA. Browder joined Karndean in early 2011 and has been instrumental in the company’s rapid growth within the retail flooring marketplace. Under Browder’s leadership, Karndean has experienced a strong increase in both its residential sales team and retail partnerships.
Coinciding with Browder’s promotion, Karndean has also announced current CEO Ed Perrin will assume the position of group CEO. “I am immensely proud of what we have achieved in the last seven years. The growth we have seen in that time has turned Karndean into a major player in the U.S. flooring market,” said Perrin. “I am extremely excited to be able to support Karndean’s growth in a different role and I am very confident that Larry will continue to take Karndean USA to new heights.”
