Paragon has named a pair of new key accounts managers

Sarah Lang has been promoted to mail order/key accounts manager.

Lang reports to Hayley Long, key account manager.

In her new capacity, Lang, who had previously served as key accounts coordinator for the company, will be responsible for Paragon's mail order and Web site accounts.

"Sarah as has done a terrific job as our key accounts coordinator, so I am very pleased to have her take on these new responsibilities," said Kathy Opolka, director of sales for Paragon. "I know she will do a wonderful job."

Previous to Lang's promotion, her responsibilities were handled by Melonie Young, a 15-year veteran of the company who will now focus on contract sales, international sales and key accounts. Young reports to Opolka and will retain her title of key accounts manager.

Paragon has also named Julie Patton to the position of key account manager.

A 13-year veteran of retail sales and management for Parisian/Saks, Inc. in the Alabama and Georgia area, Patton will be responsible for the company's national and key furniture accounts. She also reports to Opolka.
