JH Specialty believes in hiring talented people and creating an environment in which they can grow and prosper.

Evidence that the firm is turning that belief into action comes as the Fort Wayne, IN-based provider of promotional products and digital marketing solutions this week announced nine promotions.

Those moving up the ladder include Darren Lichtsinn, who is rising to vice president of JH’s promo products division. He joined the firm as a director in 2022 following a near 21-year sales career with T-Mobile.

JH Specialty (asi/232445) promoted the following employees: Darren Lichtsinn, Patrick Florea, Sarah Englert, Nate Kaiser, Miranda Haney, Reed Nicholson, Jamie Nicholson, Tyler Bearman, and Jim Coughlin.

Another new VP is Patrick Florea, who is now vice president of professional services. Sarah Englert has elevated to production manager, while Nate Kaiser is senior project manager and Miranda Haney project manager. Other promotions include Reed Nicholson to warehouse associate and Jamie Nicholson, Tyler Bearman and Jim Coughlin to senior account managers.

Beyond branded merchandise solutions, JH Specialty provides web design and development, enterprise ecommerce, digital marketing, digital recruiting services, app development and more. Company Founder/CEO John Henry III was Counselor’s 2019 Distributor Entrepreneur of the Year. He earned the honor, in part, for his work diversifying JH’s offerings to include a range of tech solutions.
