Home Textiles Today is reporting area rug manufacturer Nourison has hired Paula Paquette. With this hire they brought on board someone with a whole new perspective. She has more than 20 years experience on the retail side of the industry and she has a lot to add.
Starting her career as a linens and area rugs buyer at Caldor, then working as the home fashions merchandising executive at Kmart and finally as Vice President of decorative housewares at Linens ’n Things, it is no wonder Executive Vice President Rita Karmiol says “We…believe we will see accelerated growth come from the area under Paula’s direction.” Paula will assume the newly created post of Vice President, soft home at Nourison Area Rugs.
