Brown Jordan, the award-winning luxury outdoor furniture brand, announced that industry veteran and long-time Brown Jordan executive, Bill Brown, has been appointed VP of Sales.  Effective immediately, Brown will lead Brown Jordan’s specialty retail independent rep team throughout the country while also overseeing the company’s high-end national dealer accounts. 

A senior executive with 35+ years of experience and a consistent track record of profitable growth for luxury brands (including full transformations and successful turnarounds), Brown re-joins Brown Jordan Company after beginning his career here in 1994.

“It is always a pleasure to return to the company that has been my work home since 1994,” said Bill. “Brown Jordan is dear to me, and the welcome back has been hugely rewarding.  Re-joining this storied brand as we enter the next chapter in our almost 80-year history is a real career highlight.”

Bill has held many executive leadership positions within the company and Brown Jordan’s predecessor company. Most notably he was Sr. VP of Sales and Product Development, President Specialty Division and Chief Marketing Officer at Brown Jordan International; Sr. VP of Sales & Marketing at Winston Furniture Company, and President, Specialty Division at Castelle where he transformed the company into a leading force in the outdoor furniture industry.

“Bill is a successful leader and has worked and collaborated with Brown Jordan for many years,” said Gene Moriarty, President & CEO.  “We are thrilled that Bill will take over this key role to work with our independent dealer network and oversee our independent rep sales force.  We have already seen positive results in week one!  It’s great to bring Bill back to the team to help lead us into the next evolution of the brand.”
