Stromberg Brand Umbrellas, Valley Cottage, N.Y., announced the hiring of industry veteran Dan Pigott as director of sales.
“We recognized the need for a consummate sales professional to take us to the next level, but we waited for just the right person for that role, and are very fortunate to have Dan joining our team,” Helen Stromberg, president of The Hudson Valley Umbrella Company—the home of Stromberg Brand, said. “Dan has tremendous presentation skills, is very well liked, highly respected, and has enjoyed a history of great distributor relationships during his years representing suppliers in the industry. He will have a tremendous impact on our sales and service initiatives.”
Pigott has 26 years of industry experience, including running his own multi-line sales agency for the last 22 years.
“It was a big decision for me to shut down my company after 22 years to join the Stromberg team, but I believe this is the right time and the right company,” Pigott said. “I could not be more excited about the opportunity to work with such an established promotional products brand. Their products and service offer a value proposition which is unrivaled in the umbrella market. That is a message I look forward to delivering to our existing account base and new customers. I’m confident 2015 is going to be our best year ever and from there, we will continue to build.”
