Emily Finkell and Joe Young
Joining Engineered Floors (EF), said Emily Finkell, vice president residential design, was a no-brainer given what she already knew about EF as a company but also the people in leadership roles throughout the organization, in particular Joe Young, residential product manager.
“The literal answer of what drew me into this role is a ‘who’ instead of a ‘what’ and that is Joe Young,” shared Finkell. “If you don’t know Joe, you should. He is beyond kind, infectiously enthusiastic and also very smart and talented.”
And while Finkell has a solid history in the floor covering industry, she said that Young has provided her a unique view of the current and future success of Engineered Floors. “As he has been leading the product development initiatives for EF, he is also very innovative, and mindful of the overall messaging and images that need to surround a successful product launch,” offered Finkell. “He has very high standards, is very particular and that makes everyone around him, myself included, want to do everything at the level of excellence that he expects of himself.”
