Gumash, who has been with Do it Best for 13 years, will lead a team of territory managers in the region, which includes New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, Virginia, Delaware and Maryland. He will also work on strengthening relationships with member-owners (new and old), as well as helping them improve retail performance.


“Bob brings the perfect mix of knowledge and enthusiasm to this role,” added Jay Brown, VP sales and business development for Do it Best Corp. “He’s proven himself in his work with both our members and our field sales staff, and we are eager to see the positive impact he’ll make in his region and throughout the co-op.”
