McLeod Leaves Shaw
By Staff -- Home Textiles Today, 7/25/2005
Dalton, Ga. —One month short of his one-year anniversary with Shaw Industries, John McLeod called it quits recently to open a new home textiles importing company.
He and John Azzolino, formerly of Mohawk Home, are partners and co-owners of Direct Home, based in Atlanta. Prior to joining Shaw in August 2004 under the then-newly created post of vice president of sales and marketing for mass merchants, McLeod was vice president of sales for the now-defunct Burlington Rug Corp. and before that held the same position at Mohawk Home, where he worked in various posts for more than a decade.
