POMPANO BEACH, FL - Serge Ferrari North America is pleased to welcome Angie Barraza to the sales team as Specification Manager. Angie will be working in the shade markets for the Southeast United States.
Angie brings nearly 10 years of sales support experience to the company. She most recently worked for Sesco Lighting in Sunrise, Florida providing Inside Sales Support. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Science, majoring in Business Management & Supervision, from Broward College in Davie, Florida as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Arts, majoring in Spanish, from Florida International University in Miami, Florida. Angie is fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
In her new role, Angie will be responsible for building product awareness with architects and designers as well as provide sales and customer service support to shade manufacturers located in the states of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. Serge Ferrari is experiencing growth for its flexible composite materials in these markets, thanks in part to several new products introduced by the company earlier this year: Precontraint 502 Satin and Stam 6002L (awning and solar shade materials), Soltis 88 (screen/mesh) and Serge Ferrari One (upholstery material).
The company is also seeing an increase in sales from its new cross-marketing program, of promoting products already successful in the cruise industries (Batyline & Stamskin upholstery and sling fabrics) to the hospitality and design markets where there is a similar need for products able to withstand demanding environments, yet be aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to the end-customer.
