Foot Hill Ranch, Calif. - Venus Home has hired 15-year marketing veteran Julie Camarata as the company's new director of marketing.

She replaces Devanshi Patel, who is leaving the company next month to pursue a Masters of Business Administration at Georgetown University.

Camarata comes to Venus from PIP Printing and Marketing Services, where she served as director of marketing.

She is set to start May 2, and she will report to the company's owners.

"I am very confident that Julie's professional and leadership experiences will strongly support and advance Venus' growth within its identified strategic markets," said Patel, who is credited with developing Venus' marketing department in 2008.

"I could not have asked for a better ‘home' to start my professional career," Patel told HTT. "In the last two-and-a-half years with Venus, the experiences that I have gained and the relationships that I have made are those I will cherish forever."
