Crosley Brands expands, intros Kim Elonich, Senior Director of Product Development
With new products always in the works and the company in a growth mindset, Crosley Brands is expanding its workforce.
The Louisville-based company is proud to announce the addition of Kim Elonich to the company’s furniture product development team. Elonich, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, has accepted the position of senior director of product development, effective immediately.
“I’m super excited to be with Crosley Brands,” said Elonich. “I absolutely love product development and researching new furniture trends. It really lets me bring my expertise in outdoor furniture and do what I love to do.”
Elonich is no stranger to the product development world, having served in a senior buyer role at Walmart.com and Hayneedle.com for 13 years out of Omaha, Nebraska.
“I developed outdoor furniture for both Walmart.com and Hayneedle.com, buying from the manufacturers or factories and selling the products online,” she said. “I selected products to be sold to their customers. The difference being that Walmart ecommerce is a retailer while Crosley is the manufacturer. I’ll be researching new product trends, presenting new product ideas to the Crosley team and determining if the product is right for our customers. It’s very exciting.”
Elonich is a graduate of the University of South Dakota, graduating with a degree in business administration. She played volleyball for four years at South Dakota and softball for two. As if she won’t be busy enough, Elonich is the mother of four children. Her husband is a police officer back home in Iowa.
“Any extra time is spent on my children’s activities,” she said. “I love spending time with my kids and watching them do their things. Now that I’m a little older, it’s really becoming all about my kids, and their futures. Working for Crosley helps ensure my future and my children’s future. It’s really the best of both worlds for me…doing what I love on the product development side with Crosley while keeping up with my family.”
Elonich will be working closely with her Crosley associates on the sales side and on the sourcing side.
“I’ll be working directly with the furniture sales team and sourcing team,” she said. “I’ll be looking for new furniture ideas, researching trend reports that forecast the next new thing. I want to make sure I’m developing not only new products but the right products for the right customers.”
