Gift and home trade show operator Andmore announced the retirement of CEO Jon Pertchik and several corresponding executive leadership moves.
Pertchik (pictured above), whose retirement is effective May 31, 2026, joined Andmore on April 24 after serving as CEO of TravelCenters of America and, prior to that, as CEO of the hotel company InTown Suites.
Andmore operates the Atlanta Market, the Las Vegas Market, the High Point Market and Shoppe Object in New York.
Andmore reported its board of directors has established an executive committee, comprising current executives: Amory Wooden, newly promoted chief revenue officer; Greg Avitabile, president and COO; Robert Klein, chief financial officer; and Ximena Juncosa, chief human resources officer. The executive committee reports directly to the board, including representative of company owner Blackstone and its executive chairman, Bob Maricich, according to Andmore.
In connection with this leadership transition, Katie Potter, chief strategy officer and general counsel, and Landon Williams, chief technology officer, will step down from their roles at Andmore on May 31, 2026, according to the company.
“We have fostered a team of exceptionally talented leaders at Andmore, and this new structure is designed to put that talent in the driver’s seat to move the business forward most effectively,” Pertchik said. “My faith in the strength of this organization and its growth prospects is as unwavering today as it was when I was first appointed CEO. I have full confidence in what comes next and believe the best is yet to come with this team.”
In Wooden’s new role as chief revenue officer, she will oversee Andmore’s marketing and leasing teams, and she assumes responsibility for the company’s business development function, Andmore reported.
“Connecting marketing and leasing is about aligning the business around growth and performance,” Wooden said. “Our goal will be to foster new ways to collaborate, allowing us to deliver bigger results for our tenants and buyers.”
Newly appointed president and CEO Avitabile, in more than 30 years with Andmore and its predecessor International Market Centers, has led all aspects of operations across three cities and 22 million square feet of real estate. He also assumes oversight of Andmore’s technology team and the Shoppe Object home and gift show.
“ANDMORE has an exceptionally strong foundation built on decades of market leadership and an unmatched industry network that cannot easily be replicated,” Maricich said. “With this executive team in place and the underlying strength of our real estate footprint, customer relationships, and brand, we have full confidence in the path ahead.”
