Charles River Apparel appointed Nicola McLeod as director of outside sales and Candice Chancellor as territory account manager for the Mid-Atlantic region. McLeod and Chancellor will join Sharon Steed, director of sales, to provide Charles River Apparel’s customers with consistent, high-quality support.

Charles River Apparel has direct and multi-line sales representatives stationed across the country to provide personalized services to its customers. According to the company, the addition of McLeod and Chancellor along with the recent promotion of Steed underscore Charles River Apparel’s overarching strategy to fortify its national sales force.

While Steed leads Charles River Apparel’s team of multi-line sales representatives, McLeod will oversee national, direct, college, and tradeshow representatives.

“Nicola’s enthusiasm, combined with her deep understanding of apparel, will undoubtedly enhance our relationships with customers and drive our sales representatives towards even greater success,” said Barry Lipsett, CEO of Charles River Apparel.

McLeod brings over 20 years of experience in collaborating with product, sales, and marketing teams to drive growth across footwear, apparel, and accessories brands. Her leadership roles, spanning from startups to multinational corporations, have equipped her with a profound understanding of wholesale dynamics and distributor relationships across North America and the EMEA region. She looks forward to leveraging her expertise at Charles River Apparel.

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with Charles River Apparel’s talented sales team,” said McLeod. “It’s incredibly important to continue developing strong relationships that will cultivate a culture of trust and partnership both within our sales team and with our customers. I look forward to learning about the business of our clients and understanding how we can be a better partner to them.”

In addition to McLeod and Steed, Chancellor, with over two decades of sales and marketing expertise across diverse industries nationwide, will provide support to Maryland, Virginia, and surrounding states.
