Yunique Opens West Coast Office

New York–based PLM (product lifecycle management) software provider Yunique Solutions hired veteran technology executive Rodney Harrelson as its Western regional sales director, a newly created position.

The hiring of Harrelson also marks the first West Coast representation for Yunique. Harrelson was most recently deputy director of Gerber Technology’s Western region, based in Cerritos, Calif. He also worked for Lectra and Microdynamics, which was acquired by Gerber.

At Yunique, Harrelson will manage regional sales for the company’s entire product line, which includes plmOn and srmOn, a supplier-relationship module. Yunique’s client list includes Pearl Izumi, Cutter & Buck, Territory Ahead and Spiegel, among others.

Harrelson has extensive experience with supply chain software, having managed sales for Gerber’s Fashion Lifecyling Management PLM and WebPDM applications.

Harrelson joins former Liz Claiborne executive Theresa Fortier, who is now Yunique’s director of product development strategy. Harrelson can be reached at rodneyharrelson@yunique.com. —Robert McAllister
