NEW YORK —

Wendy Keryk has joined Victoria Classics as vice president, sales, a new position.

Keryk, who reports to Tom Coughlin, executive vice president, is responsible for Bed Bath & Beyond and Wal-Mart accounts.

She is involved "in everything from soup to nuts — product development, supply on through, and for our entire product family — bedding, throws, quilts, soft window, shower curtains and decorative pillows," Coughlin explained.

"We consider hiring her a tremendous coup. She's a wonderfully experienced home textiles expert on all levels," he added.

The company, Coughlin related, is expanding its executive base.

Keryk last month left Richloom Home Fashions, where she had been president of the window division.
