About John McManamey

The right work environment can help businesses perform better. My job is to help companies design and furnish the work environment in which their employees can thrive. I am an experienced contract furniture executive with a proven ability to develop new markets and deepen sales in existing markets. I have excellent account management skills, do not back away from a challenge, and am able to arrive at creative custom solutions for a variety of businesses. I enjoy helping people realize their goals and bring concepts to life, and do this by staying current with industry trends and understanding how work spaces affect efficiency, productivity, and importantly— employee engagement. I don’t recruit clients or simply manage projects. I build and maintain relationships. And, I deliver individualized attention no matter how small or large the project or the company. I make it a point to listen first and ask questions second in order to get a thorough understanding of need, timeline, budget, and any unique aspects of a company or project. By understanding a company’s mission, vision, values, culture, and goals I am better informed to ensure satisfaction with a finished product. After a project is complete, I am there to help troubleshoot and make right anything that perhaps didn’t meet expectations. An individual is only as good as the team behind him. I consult with designers, product managers, manufacturers and others to ensure scope and product needs are met from start to finish. I am fiscally responsible, an accomplished negotiator, presenter, strategist, and communicator, and employ these skills on every project. When I am not helping clients find the best furniture and walls for their work environment, I enjoy playing competitive hockey, canoeing, and traveling to New England—most notably Maine’s Acadia National Park.
