The National Glass Association (NGA) is pleased to welcome Robert Russel to the team as the new senior account executive, working within the sales department.
Russel brings with him years of relevant experience in association work; including member relations, marketing and business development.
“We’re excited to welcome Rob to the NGA team and to introduce him to the world of glass and fenestration. His years of experience in association environments and client services give him a strong foundation for the work we do—connecting industry partners with the right platforms to reach their audiences and achieve their goals. I look forward to seeing the relationships he builds across our magazine and events portfolios,” said NGA Vice President of Development and Exhibit Sales Sarah Swango. “Rob has spent his career doing what we value most: listening to clients and finding the best ways to serve them. That’s exactly what our partners across Glass Magazine, Window + Door, GlassBuild America, BEC Conference and GFAB deserve. We’re glad to have him on board.”
Previously, Russel held roles such as member relations manager at the American Sportfishing Association, where he cultivated member relationships, implemented renewal campaigns and expanded member benefits. He also served as manager of marketing & business development at Servpro, where he built a marketing department from the ground up, generating nearly USD 1 million in revenue within two years.
“I am very excited to join such a dynamic team at the National Glass Association,” said Russel. “The glass industry plays a vital role in innovation and sustainability, as does the NGA. I look forward to advancing its impact and supporting our members’ continued growth by building strong partnerships, delivering value to members and helping organisations navigate an evolving marketplace.”
