ATLANTA - Promotions and expanded staff positions at the Big Green Egg Company are positioning the Atlanta-based mainstay for continued growth of the Big Green Egg brand in 2014 and beyond.

The Sales Department has been restructured, resulting in two new positions. Each position will be responsible for key areas of the distribution network in terms of growth and support.
• Lou West, formerly sales manager, will assume a new role as distributor services manager; 
• Jerry Stone, formerly assistant sales manager will take on a new role as business development manager.

Jodi Burson (pictured), formerly marketing manager, has been promoted to director of Brand Enhancement, overseeing Marketing, Promotions, Publishing, and Advertising.

According to managing director/CEO Ardy Arani, “ … these strategic moves are important to align departments and resources more effectively with the services and support we provide to our distributor network, to maximize operational efficiencies and to more clearly communicate areas of key responsibilities. As the company has grown, we have developed extensive programs requiring both strategic oversight and tactical support and with this team in place, I am confident that we have positioned ourselves to maintain the highest levels of quality and support across the entire Big Green EGGsperience.”

Lou West, as distributor services manager, will continue to oversee BGE’s present Customer Relations areas, with expanded focus on Distributor Support Solutions; Customer Satisfaction; and related Distributor, Dealer and End-User support functions.

Jerry Stone, business development manager, will provide resources and support to grow new and existing business opportunities for the Big Green Egg brand across the distributor network domestically and internationally.

Jodi Burson, director of Brand Enhancement, will oversee all key areas of brand positioning across a variety of media and communications platforms.

These moves follow another recent staff addition, with John Meadows joining BGE as product and procurement manager with responsibility for product and inventory optimization, logistical efficiencies and on-going product development.
