Rosien gets it!” said Ron Passaglia, Restonic president and chief executive officer. “Her ability to educate, engage and build relationships with our Restonic brand is of tremendous value to our team.
“We are confident that Rosien’s appointment will allow us to continue to deliver high quality marketing programs, branding and customer communication programs to our licensees, retailers and end consumers. She is a strong asset to our future growth in all these areas.”
