Joining him will be his son Rami Shami who has returned to run the day to day operations; a role he has done for over 30 years. Also, his Executive Team consisting of Andre Chiavelli, Executive Vice President Global Sales, Marketing, Education and Public Relations; Stuart Feldshon, Senior Vice President of North America; Scott Emery, Vice President of International; and Lisa Marie Garcia, Vice President of Product Development and Innovation will continue to build and expand their roles for this next phase of growth.
