Andmore, an operator of gift, home furnishings and apparel trade markets, has named Scott Eckman, a former senior executive of the company, president, effective April 7.
Andmore operates AmericasMart, home of the Atlanta Market; the World Market Center Las Vegas and Expo, home of the Las Vegas Market; a number of furnishings showroom facilities in High Point, NC; and Shoppe Object, a New York City-based trade show for design-oriented home and gift products.
Eckman has served as president at Loloi, a producer of rugs, pillows and wall art since 2023. Prior to Loloi, Eckman (pictured above) spent more than a decade at Andmore, most recently serving as executive vice president and chief revenue officer, overseeing permanent showroom and temporary trade show leasing across all product categories and Andmore campuses in Atlanta, Las Vegas, and High Point.
As president of Andmore, Eckman will help lead the company alongside CEO Jon Pertchik, who joined Andmore in June 2024 when veteran Andmore chief Bob Maricich retired. Eckman will oversee a broad range of activities, including sales, leasing and marketing. Eckman’s appointment follows Dorothy Belshaw’s transition from Andmore president to an ongoing advisory role in February 2025, according to the company.
“Scott’s strong customer relationships and experience leading teams across functions, including sales, leasing and marketing, combined with his recent experience supporting Loloi’s continued growth, will be an asset to our business and all of our partners,” Pertchik said.
Eckman said, “Working alongside Jon (Pertchik) and the rest of the team, I look forward to leveraging my previous industry experience, including the invaluable perspective as a wholesaler and market exhibitor gained during my time at Loloi, to support Andmore’s continued innovation and growth as the go-to provider of wholesale market experiences for buyers and sellers.
