Peggy Kelly

2.7.13 | Zeeland, MI | Herman Miller, Inc.’s Peggy Kelly, Vice President of North American Seating, will transition into a new role as President of Spectrum, a certified Herman Miller dealer, in mid-February. Kelly will bring a unique perspective and expertise to one of the oldest furniture dealer’s in the Philadelphia market, gained by working within the corporate offices at Herman Miller and coupled with her 10 years of prior experience managing a successful dealership.

“Working for Herman Miller provided me with an invaluable opportunity to better understand who Herman Miller is, how the business operates from a manufacturing perspective, and areas where I can enhance the fluidity between the dealer and Herman Miller,” said Kelly. “I can’t wait to get started applying these new lessons and continuing to build upon the stellar reputation of Spectrum.”

Kelly spent the past two years directing Herman Miller’s industry-leading seating category, with responsibility for the overall strategy and new product development, as well as ensuring marketing initiatives were aligned with the larger business and other product categories. While the work was both challenging and rewarding, as an entrepreneur the opportunity to return to Philadelphia and lead another dealership proved too much for Kelly to resist.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to work with the Spectrum team and be closer to my family,” said Kelly. “With the foundation of service excellence that Spectrum has built in the market, and the strength of Herman Miller’s vision and product design for the future of work, healing and higher education environments, I see wonderful opportunities ahead.”

Kelly plans to take advantage of both Spectrum and Herman Miller’s strengths by expanding Spectrum’s concentrated focus on areas such as education, healthcare, and government while placing additional emphasis in commercial markets including finance and pharmaceuticals.
