Andmore, the American omnichannel marketplace for wholesale buyers and sellers, has announced the appointment of Jonathan Pertchik as Chief Executive Officer, and the promotion of Dorothy Belshaw to President.
Pertchik succeeds Bob Maricich, who founded Andmore (formerly International Market Centers "IMC") in 2011. Maricich will now assume the role of Executive Chairman of the Board to ensure a seamless transition.
'I am pleased to welcome Jon to the Andmore team and am confident we have found the right leader for the future of our great company,' says Maricich. 'Jon is a seasoned executive closely aligned with our company's core values and our unwavering focus on putting the customer first. It has been a tremendous privilege to build and lead this business over the last 13 years, and I look forward to working alongside Jon, Dorothy and the rest of the team in my new role as Executive Chairman. The future is bright as we continue to build on our culture, our successes, and our customer partnerships to grow our unique industry position as the only omnichannel B2B marketplace.'
'It is a great honour to succeed Bob and to partner with the talented Andmore team to continue building on the important mission to offer more for customers every day,' says Pertchik. 'Bob and the team have done an incredible job growing a differentiated business, dedicated to partnering with wholesale buyers and sellers to help them grow and prosper, and I look forward to leading Andmore into its next chapter.'
Pertchik will make his permanent office in Atlanta, while also setting up offices in Las Vegas and High Point.
Andmore also announced the promotion of Dorothy Belshaw to President. Belshaw is a proven leader with 32 years of experience in the wholesale marketplace industry, including 12 years with Andmore holding positions as Chief Revenue Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, and most recently, Chief Growth Officer. Incoming CEO, Pertchik said, 'I am eager to work with and learn from an industry leader like Dorothy who is widely recognized for her many years of leadership, customer centricity and industry support.'
Belshaw joined Andmore (formerly IMC) in 2012, bringing 20+ years of home and gift tradeshow industry experience. Initially hired to bring the category to the Las Vegas Market, her role soon broadened to include responsibility for all aspects of the end-to-end customer experience, driving increased buyer acquisition across all IMC Markets, and developing tools and services to improve the at Market experience for buyers and exhibitors. An industry leader, Dorothy will be honoured with the 2024 Gift for Life Industry Achievement Award in June, which recognizes overall excellence and contribution to the gift and home industry.
