OneCoast Announces Key Management Promotions

OneCoast, the leader in nationwide sales and marketing for gift, baby, fashion, and collegiate vendors, announced today two key management promotions. The recent promotions reflect the company’s growth plans as well as their efforts to hire from within.

Edie Lufkin who previously managed the Northeast Region while also performing the responsibilities of Vice President of Strategic Relationships, has been promoted into the Vice President of Strategic Relationships position full time. In this role, Edie will focus her efforts on developing strategic initiatives with existing OneCoast Vendors in both the Collegiate and ND One Divisions, while also developing new vendor relationships for both divisions. Prior to joining OneCoast, Edie served as President and General Manager for Silvestri and VP of Sales with Figi. A 25 year veteran of the Gift and Decorative Accessories Industry, Edie held additional Management positions with Applause, Dakin and Ganz.

With Edie’s promotion to Vice President of Strategic Relationships, Elisabeth Bond has been promoted to the Northeast Regional Sales Manager. Elisabeth was recognized as OneCoast’s 2011 Territory Manager of the Year and has had five successful years as a OneCoast Territory Manager and Regional Account Manager. Prior to OneCoast, Elisabeth was a Vice President with Willis, a global insurance broker, and National Sales Manager with the Transamerica Corporation.

“Both Edie and Elisabeth have been major contributors to the OneCoast Team”, says John Keiser, OneCoast CEO. “Their respective promotions reflect our commitment to promoting from within our organization and to working hard with our vendor partners to develop successful strategies and strong execution of those strategies”.
