Lexington, Kentucky based mattresses & neck pillows maker Tempur-Pedic International Inc announces the promotion of Chris Henning to President of the Retail Division of Tempur-Pedic Inc.
Henning previously served as Vice President of Sales for the Western United States and will succeed David Fogg, longtime company leader. Fogg assumes the new role of Senior Vice President National Accounts and will also focus on developing Tempur-Pedic's international business in the Western Hemisphere.
