Over the past two years, Watson has expanded into new regions, including significant growth across the Southeast. To support both emerging and established markets, the company recognized the need to deepen its sales leadership team—a need Donna is uniquely qualified to meet.

“Donna’s experience in strategic sales leadership, business development at contract furniture dealerships, and her foundation as a designer make her the ideal leader to help advance Watson’s growth objectives,” said Sandy Yokeley, Watson’s Chief Revenue Officer. “Beyond her expertise, Donna has an incredible ability to build relationships and develop people, and I’m excited to see the impact she’ll make on our team and our customers.”

Donna brings a diverse, people-focused perspective to the role, honed through her experience with both large and small manufacturers, the A&D community, and contract furniture dealerships. She has driven successful growth initiatives across the healthcare, education, government, and commercial sectors, with particular expertise in building and sustaining strategic partnerships.

Most recently, Donna served as Regional Sales Manager for the eastern United States at Calyx by Claridge. Prior to that, she held a leadership role with nora by Interface, where she led healthcare market expansion across the western U.S. and Canada.

“I’m thrilled to join Watson,” said Donna. “This team’s commitment to timeless design, responsible manufacturing, and building spaces that support people resonates with everything I believe in. I’m looking forward to helping strengthen customer relationships and supporting our partners across the country.”
