South San Francisco, Calif. — —

South San Francisco, Calif. — Wendy Keryk has joined PHI as part of the company's expanding management team.

Keryk holds two positions in the company: regional sales manager for the northeast and window product manager.

Mark Grand, PHI president, explained, “We are pleased to have Wendy on our management team. Her addition satisfies two needs of our company. First, our business has grown so dramatically in the last two years that we simply needed to add professional management on the sales side to better service our customers and sales growth.

“Second, it supports our intention of becoming a more serious player in the window business.”

The addition of Keryk, Grand went on, “marks another strategic step for our company from being primarily a supplier of promotional quilts just a few years ago, to becoming a direct source for better quality comforters, sheets, coverlets, duvet covers, decorative pillows and accessories, and now window.”

Grand added the company “will continue our evolution into other categories in the future.”

Keryk most recently was vice president of sales at Victoria Classics, and prior to that was president of the window coverings division at Richloom Home Fashions. Earlier, she was with Burlington House. Keryk reports to Janie Leonard.
