NEW YORK, New York — For reasons unknown, Rod Fruth has departed the halls of Robert Allen in less than two weeks after he was hired as vice president of contract sales in the New York office.

Once again, this position is unfilled. Robert Allen has been operating without a leader in the contract division for sometime now.

Fruth had reported to Paul Sarazin, senior vice president of sales. Sarazin himself joined Robert Allen about two years ago from a completely different industry.

Fruth was previously head of purchasing for Wyndham Hotels, based in Dallas, Texas. Prior to that he was sales manager for the John Wolf division of Cone Mills.
