HIGH POINT — Merchandise Mart Properties Inc. has named Tim McGee senior vice president and general manager of its High Point operations.
McGee, who has been MMPI’s vice president of leasing in High Point, will replace Tom Mitchell, who is taking the top job at rival showroom operator the International Home Furnishings Center.
McGee first joined MMPI as director of leasing in 2000, then left in 2004 to become vice president of leasing for Showplace, another High Point showroom building. He returned to MMPI in October as vice president of leasing.
Earlier, he worked for Atlanta showroom operators and has more than 15 years of industry experience, MMPI said.
“He has forged many relationships with key stakeholders in all aspects of the industry and is well respected. He will continue to be a great asset to our team and our customers in his new role,” said Chris Kennedy, president of MMPI.
McGee will oversee High Point properties including Market Square, the Suites at Market Square, Plaza Suites, Furniture Plaza and the National Furniture Mart. Reporting to McGee will be Karen Olson, vice president of marketing; Steve Johnson, vice president of administration; Mike Snider, vice president of operations; and 25 other employees.
“With Tim McGee at MMPI in High Point, Tom Mitchell at IHFC and Marion Kelly and Joanna Easter at Showplace, the leadership in High Point has never been stronger,” Kennedy said.
