Furniture and home accents manufacturer Interlude Home has appointed Brian Adams chief operating officer, where he has been tasked with managing the day-to-day operations of the company, piloting its expansion overseas and expanding the partnerships with craftsmen and factories throughout the world.
Adams, who reports to CEO Carl M. Philips, spent 10 years at Ashley Furniture in sourcing and regulatory affairs roles, according to his LinkedIn profile. “His savvy and innovativeness were instrumental in maneuvering the supply chain to adjust to tariffs, anti-dumping duties, as well as the COVID impacts,” Interlude said. “As part of this strategy, he coordinated the launch of multiple new countries for material and finished good sourcing.”
Adams, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse, also serves as a leader of his local County 4-H Youth Leadership Program, volunteered for multiple non-profits and serves on the American Society for Testing Materials for Furniture Safety and Bunk Beds Committee.
