Throughout his 32-year career, Chad has demonstrated a unique ability to integrate strategic vision with practical execution. As the North American Director for Enza Home International (2020–2024), he successfully established the company’s North American operations from the ground up during one of the most challenging business climates in recent history. By building a robust infrastructure that included a headquarters, distribution centers, and multiple showrooms, Chad introduced the Yatas Group’s furniture brands—Enza Home and Yatas Bedding—to the North American market. Under his leadership, the company achieved rapid market penetration and secured partnerships with top-tier retailers such as Costco, Wayfair, Amazon, and Nebraska Furniture Mart.

Chad’s strategic initiatives, including the creation of an in-store gallery program, a guaranteed LTL freight solution, and the development of Smart Bed technology, not only elevated the company’s brand recognition but also optimized operations for sustained growth.

Leveraging his vast network of suppliers and manufacturers across China, Vietnam, and other global markets, he developed cost-effective solutions for clients, helping them overcome operational challenges and expand their market presence.

Chad’s ability to drive growth and implement operational turnarounds was also evident in his tenure as President of Berkenwood Home (2016–2018). He spearheaded the launch of a luxury furniture brand under AP Home, achieving $10 million in revenue by the second year and setting the foundation for high-margin growth. His leadership was pivotal in modernizing AP Home’s operations, streamlining processes, and increasing profitability by over 50%.

Chad’s earlier career includes key roles such as Vice President of Import Operations at La-Z-Boy (2000–2003), where he built the company’s import division, reducing domestic operating expenses by 50% and increasing margins by over 30%. Additionally, as Founder and CEO of Shadow Mountain (2003–2010), he transformed the startup into a premium brand with double-digit annual growth, eventually integrating it into the global Furniture Origins portfolio.

Chad’s expertise extends far beyond operations. Over the course of his career, he has made over 300 trips to global markets in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, building a network of 2,500+ industry relationships.
