Jenny Heinzen York joined AmericasMart as the Vice President of Home.
Heinzen York, who for almost 10 years served as Editor-in-Chief at Progressive Business Media’s Home Accents Today magazine, assumes the lead role in articulating the AmericasMart Home brand story to the home furnishings industry.
“Jenny brings to us a deep and expansive knowledge of the home industry across every dimension of its operation, influence and reach, from product design and manufacturing to wholesale distribution and — perhaps most importantly — the increasingly complex environment of home furnishings retailing and consumer buying behavior,” says Jeffrey L. Portman, Sr., Vice Chairman, President and Chief Operating Officer of AmericasMart. “Her view is global, her command of industry inner workings exhaustive, and her reputation among manufacturers, designers and retailers impeccable,” he adds.
Heinzen York’s responsibilities will include creation and development of digital and print media content; seminar content programming and presentation; home industry leadership organization participation; and feature roles in AMC-TV original video productions. She will work interdepartmentally with primary concentrations in AmericasMart’s publishing, proprietary media and marketing teams.
