Itzy Ritzy, designers and manufactures of modern and functional products for babies, toddlers and adults, promoted Naz Akel to vice president of national sales. The company has also added Mindy Isacoff and Susannah Blair to its sales force.

Naz Akel, who joined the company in 2007 as general manager, has been promoted to Itzy Ritzy’s vice president of national sales, allowing the company to focus on key domestic markets. Naz will continue to oversee operations as well as manage Itzy Ritzy’s national sales team.

The company has also added Mindy Isacoff, of M.I. Kid Sales, to cover all five boroughs of New York City, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange counties and Long Island in the State of New York, and New Jersey. Mindy said: “When I looked at Itzy Ritzy’s merchandise, I saw a company, with a great name, that was not interested in being like everyone else. I saw an independent company with strong growth, fun products, new and interesting fabrics, good pricing, quality and innovation.” To contact Mindy, call (516) 849-7001 or email mikidsales@optonline.net.
