New York, N.Y.—Havwoods International has hired Sophie-Zacha Lameret as the company’s first North American showroom manager, for its showroom in New York City.

Lameret joins Havwood’s North American team with over eight years of experience in business development and brand management. In her role, she will create a strategic business development plan for the new showroom to help increase traffic, secure quality sales leads and propel Havwoods across the North American market. Having previously worked in the construction business as a business development consultant, Sophie’s role will expand the firm’s brand and help build the brand’s relationship in the regional architecture and design market.

Founded in Great Britain more than 40 years ago, Havwoods International opened its first showroom in North America last November. Located in the Flatiron District, the new showroom opened with the goal to accommodate the brand’s growing U.S.-based clientele while allowing them to further expand their project portfolio in the North American market.
