A marketing, sales and merchandise manager who has helped numerous independent retailers grow their businesses, Curry may be best known as the founder and former owner of upholstered furniture supplier Engender Furniture, and a partner in Thriftyu.com, a consumer-facing website focused on the Piedmont Triad area. Prior to this he served as national sales and merchandise manager for upholstered furniture manufacturer Lloyd’s of Chatham, and has worked for a variety of leading companies as an independent sales representative, including Lexington Home Brands, Rowe, Benchcraft, the Alan White Company and Palliser.

“Greg comes to us with a stellar reputation as a relationship-builder and well-rounded executive,” relates John Hoff, president of Spectra Home. “His skills and experience working with independent retailers will be an asset in the development of smart programs designed to help retailers stand out in their marketplaces.”

“I’m very excited about joining the Spectra Home team,” Curry says. “As a fashion-forward line that has long been a private label supplier to specialty retailers and catalog houses, Spectra Home is particularly right…both for the times and those independent retailers who want to appeal to younger consumers seeking that level of stylish, high-quality furniture at more affordable price points.”
