“The opportunity here is tremendous, and I am very excited to be part of the World Market Center team,” said Seibel, who will work with Las Vegas Design Center general manager William Grenewald and director Kathy Kroger to attract and retain tenants.
“Gerry and I have worked together in the past, and I am especially proud to have him on our team,” Greenewald said. “His style and substance make him well suited to helping us fulfill the vision for the Design Center. He understands our mission and is already working with a wide range of prospective tenants that will round out the selection of high-end product we offer designers.”
