In her new sales director role, she will lead the company\u2019s mass merchant sales channel and oversee key retail partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shatzel\u2019s lighting career includes positions with Design Solutions International (DSI), NBG Home, and Quoizel, providing her with a broad perspective on the industry&#8217;s evolution and the changing needs of both retailers and consumers.

There is nothing more rewarding than bringing great products to market and seeing that success reflected on the sales floor. I\u2019m excited to take on this new role and continue building partnerships that drive growth for both our customers and Quoizel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/?p=2346\">Howard Greenberg Promoted at Quoizel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/?p=1427\">Quoizel Promotes Celine Diz to Product Manager<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carolyn Shatzel has been promoted to director of sales for the mass merchant channel. &nbsp; A 20-year veteran of the lighting industry, Carolyn Shatzel has played a key role in strengthening customer relationships and driving strategic growth initiatives since joining Charleston, S.C.-based Quoizel in 2023 as national account manager.
