Barefoot Tess names new head of wholesale accounts

Sept. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Barefoot Tess is pleased to announce the promotion of Geralyn Sculley, a member of the company’s marketing team, to a new position as head of wholesale accounts.

“We’re so excited for Geri to step into this role and are confident that she will hit the ground running,” said Karen Williamson, Chief Executive Officer of Barefoot Tess. “She has an innate understanding of how to work with vendors and, perhaps most importantly, is just a really great ambassador for our brand.”

Ms. Sculley, who wears a size 13 shoe, has been a loyal customer of Barefoot Tess since the company’s founding in 2005. She became a full-time employee in 2009, bringing with her many years’ experience in the manufacturing and technology sectors. In her new position, she will aim to both expand Barefoot Tess’ wholesale presence and continue growing its existing relationships with clients that include Macy’s, Amazon and Brown Shoe Company (a consumer-driven footwear company that counts shoes.com among its many subsidiaries).

Barefoot Tess’ wholesale accounts were formerly managed by Katherine Zazove. Ms. Zazove is no longer with the company.
