I’m looking forward to building strong connections, driving results, and contributing to a team that’s passionate about innovation, design, and customer experience.”
A statement released by Coleto Brands noted, “Melissa brings over a decade of experience in e-commerce, digital merchandising and vendor strategy. [She] will be responsible for driving strategic alignment between Coleto and Ferguson, supporting digital and showroom growth opportunities that strengthen our market presence and brand performance.
