EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — WASH Multifamily Laundry Systems, a laundry facilities management service, has hired two new staff members in recent weeks. Vivian Hung is its executive vice president of human resources, and Bill Thomas is regional vice president of sales for the company’s Southwest region.
Hung will oversee human resources and payroll operations for the rapidly growing company, and will serve as a member of the executive management team.
“Over the past five years, WASH has doubled in size, bringing our staff to more than 1,000 employees globally,” says Adam Coffey, president and CEO of WASH. “As we continue to grow, our goal is to expand our talented team of professionals to support our best-in-class endeavors. I’m thrilled Vivian will be joining the company to lead human resource initiatives that support our employees in delivering the high level of customer service WASH is known for.”
Hung most recently was the vice president of human resources for grocery store chain Fresh and Easy. Previously, she was the merger and acquisition project manager at human resources and benefits consulting firm Mercer.
She has a master’s degree from the University of Southern California and a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, San Diego.
“I’m excited to have the opportunity to lead human resources at WASH as the company continues on its path of expansion,” Hung says. “I’m looking forward to working with WASH’s management team and employees to sustain a positive employee culture that supports the company’s business values and strategic objectives.”
As regional vice president of sales for the Southwest, Thomas will oversee the region’s district sales managers in their efforts to deliver best-in-class customer service and to achieve company growth objectives.
“Bill has an impressive track record in marketing, sales and business development and is a welcome addition to our team,” says Paul Cummins, executive vice president of sales and marketing at WASH. “Our customers throughout the region will benefit significantly from his involvement in serving their multifamily laundry management needs.”
With more than 25 years of experience in marketing, business development and sales, Thomas has held leadership positions with providers of laundry equipment, consumer electronics and appliances, including LG and Whirlpool, WASH says. Most recently, he served as senior vice president, sales and marketing, for NTN Buzztime, a digital entertainment company in North America.
“WASH is a fast-growing company with an exciting future,” says Thomas. “I’m looking forward to contributing my expertise in sales and marketing towards the company’s continued growth and expansion in the Southwest region.”
