New York – Rapidly growing bedding and window supplier Extreme Linen has added to its sales and design teams.

Extreme Linen last week hired Jim Geise, formerly Croscill’s point man on Bed Bath and Beyond. Guise will work key accounts.

“We’re very excited about his product ability and his ability to merchandise,” said Mesh Gelman, vp, global sourcing and operations. “He works with the customer as if he is the customer.”

The company also brought on board Glenda Heffer as design director and Geralyn Horvitz as a designer. Each previously held similar positions at Hollander Home Fashions, which last fall exited the fashion bedding business.
