THOMASVILLE, N.C. — Lexington Home Brands has hired veteran Drexel Heritage executive Robert Stamper in the newly created position of senior vice president of marketing.

He reports to President and CEO Phil Haney.
Stamper spent more than 20 years at Drexel Heritage as an executive in sales, sales management, marketing, merchandising and advertising. At Lexington, he will be responsible for marketing, merchandising, advertising, business development, Internet marketing, licensing and the management of the licensing process, as well as strategic planning and forecasting.


He also will head a team to establish a revitalized and interactive new Web site for Lexington that will attract consumers to the company’s portfolio of brands and products, as well as a retail source locator to guide them to Lexington dealers in their area.

“With his years of experience in the high-end arena, he knows this business better than most,” said Haney. “Robert’s broad range of knowledge and his fresh perspective will be key to Lexington’s future plans and growth.”

Haney said Stamper will serve as a link between many operational arms at Lexington. He added the company “has some exciting developments in the works, as well as stunning new collections for October 2014. Lexington’s recent introductions, including Trump Home, Palm Canyon and Nautica’s Harrison, have been hits with our retail partners and we’ll top ourselves with the two new fall collections. Robert is key to continuing that success and building upon it with our brand partners and our retail dealers.”
