AIS, a manufacturer of commercial office furniture and seating, announces the hiring of Nick Haritos as executive vice president of sales and distribution. Haritos, who joined AIS in early January, will lead all sales and distribution efforts throughout North America. His appointment will support the company’s ambitious growth plans, according to AIS CEO / President Bruce Platzman.
Haritos’ career spanning three decades in management and business development includes more than 25 years in contract furniture, including 16 years with Haworth, most recently as vice president of sales and distribution covering a five-region territory stretching from New England to the Caribbean. Before Haworth, he served as senior vice president of sales for Office Environments of New England.
“Nick’s extensive experience in sales and distribution builds on AIS’s strong industry presence,” Platzman said. “He is a relationship-driven leader whose experience as a dealer and manufacturer will help us on multiple levels.”
