Wright Creative Branding & Labels announced the retirement of 40-year company veteran and
executive Vicki Fishman.
Fishman is an industry leader who has dedicated more than four decades to advancing the design and production of
labels and branding products in the home furnishings industry. Her exceptional career has been defined by her
creativity, passion, and dedication, leaving a lasting impact on the company, her colleagues, and countless brands.
Don Wright, CEO, shared, “Vicki has been a part of this company, and my life, for as long as I can remember.
She worked tirelessly to solve problems and offer solutions to her customers and coworkers in our organization. She
approached every opportunity with enthusiasm and executed each of her roles with creativity, passion, and integrity.
Both professionally and personally, Vicki has been a trusted friend, a respected advisor and an incredible partner.
She is like a sister to me, and she will be deeply missed.”
Fishman’s career journey with Wright began as a graphic artist, a role that allowed her to showcase her
remarkable talent and eye for design. Her journey took a significant turn when she moved to Dalton, Georgia, where
she was instrumental in establishing Wright of Dalton, a division focused on providing innovative solutions for
clients in the heart of the floor covering industry. While in Dalton, she played a pivotal role in designing and
launching major brands for industry leaders such Shaw Industries, Mohawk Industries, Mannington Mills and countless
others.
Following her successful tenure in Georgia, Fishman returned to her roots in North Carolina. She brought her skills
and talents into the role of account executive and designer for the sleep products industry launching brands across
the country with her signature blend of creativity and precision. Her work not only contributed to the success of
Wright Labels but also helped shape the industry, earning her admiration and respect from clients around the world.
Throughout her career, Fishman was a champion for mentorship and development. She held leadership roles at the
International Sleep Products Association (ISPA) serving on the Better Sleep Council as well as helping establish
ISPA Women’s Network. She was also a member of WithIT, a furniture industry leadership development network
that helps encourage and support a new generation of talent.
At Wright Global Graphics, Fishman’s leadership extended beyond design. She excelled as an account executive,
was promoted to director of marketing, and ultimately finished her career as vice president of sales and support.
Her dedication to solving problems, offering solutions, and fostering creativity made her an invaluable asset to the
organization.
“The Wright Labels team and family congratulate Vicki on her well-deserved retirement, and we celebrate her
incredible contributions over the past four decades. Vicki’s legacy of innovation, mentorship, and dedication
should be an inspiration to the next generation of leaders at Wright Labels and throughout the home furnishings
industry,” said Wright.
