Ciprian "Chip" Popa was named director of market development for Jane Hamley Wells, an upscale contemporary outdoor furniture manufacturer. Popa works directly with Jane Humzy, Jane Hamley Wells president and founder, to focus on strengthening relationships with A&D channels, primarily top-tier design firms nationally.

"Our business has expanded significantly over the past year," Humzy said. "As a result, we've experienced burgeoning interest from the commercial A&D community."

Popa formerly was director of market development for Bernhardt Design, responsible for developing and servicing A&D accounts nationally and directing strategic planning for two new classes of products.
