In his new role, Borley will report to Carleen Gray, CEO of GroupeStahl, Inc., and will lead the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region in support of the overall vision directed by GroupeStahl, Inc. Borley’s leadership willl span Stahls’ UK, Stahls’ EU, Stahls’ TPT, and all affiliated divisions and distributors throughout the EMEA markets.
“Martin has proven to be a steady and thoughtful leader. He understands our vision and how to execute,“ Gray said. “Under his leadership, Stahls’ EMEA will accelerate our mission of Global Brand Unity, ensuring our customers and partners benefit from seamless decoration and fulfillment experiences driven by our Stahls’ Fulfill Engine platform.“
