The Green Fusion Design Center in San Anselmo has announced that it has a new investor and team member to add to its business. Peritas Partners LLC is a group of three Marin County residents: Robert E. Forrest, Lisa Poncia and Courtney Dickson. Forrest, Poncia and Dickson will also be joining the Green Fusion management team, contributing extensive operations, finance and marketing experience to the day-to-day running of the business.
"With a combined history of over 30 years of experience in operations, finance, marketing and legal industries, adding Peritas Partners to the Green Fusion family is a huge win for us," says Greg Snowden, owner and founder of Green Fusion.
The primary focus will be in taking Green Fusion to the next level in the expanding green market - further establishing the store as the place to go for consumers, builders, designers and architects seeking home products and furnishings to create healthy and sustainable spaces.
Forrest, managing member of Peritas said: "This investment was the right decision for Peritas for many reasons, particularly the explosive growth in the green sector and our desire to be part of a local business with employees and opportunities we believe in and are proud of. Green Fusion is uniquely positioned in a fragmented market and we look forward to expanding our company's reach and excelling in our position as the premier knowledge-based retail store and design showroom in the Bay Area for green building practices."
Green Fusion is a retail store, design showroom, education center and marketing gallery featuring green building materials and natural home furnishings. The company employs a science-based methodology to determine the health and environmental integrity of all its products, many of which cannot be found in such diversity at other home-improvement stores. "Our goal is to educate, inspire and create beautiful environments that are healthy for both people and the planet," said Snowden.
Green Fusion Design Center is at 20 Greenfield Ave., San Anselmo. For more information, call 454-0174 or visit green-fusion.com. Photo caption: The revamped Green Fusion team is made up of (l-r) Courtney Dickson, Rob Forrest, Sophia Balestreri, Greg Snowden and Lisa Poncia.
