HPS Schönox (Florence, Ala.) hired William “David” Lepird as vice president of business development.
Lepird will be responsible for expanding distribution opportunities, growing the company’s presence with key national accounts and supporting the work of Schönox regional business managers.
Lepird has worked in the flooring industry for more than 30 years, including experience in distribution, manufacturing and running his own business.
“Dave’s extensive background in the flooring industry, and the subfloor sector more specifically, will facilitate our strategic steps forward with greater distribution in previously under-represented regions and with national accounts that may not be familiar with Schönox yet,” said Thomas Trissl, principal, in a statement. “With all the progress that we have made in a relatively short period of time with Schönox, we still need the greater awareness in certain regions that Dave can provide, especially on the West Coast.”
