Packaged Home Solutions, Inc. Announces Key Addition of Chief Operating Officer and Director With Proven Track Record in the Success of Building National Home Improvement Companies
PHS Further Broadens Their Senior Management Team to Specifically Target and Support National Expansion Efforts Through Strategic Acquisitions and Expanding National Retailer Service Organization
Mar 22, 2007 11:39:00 AM
CINCINNATI, OH -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/22/07 -- Packaged Home Solutions, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PKGH) -- www.PHSTeam.com -- ("PHS" or "The Company") announced today the addition of a Key Senior Executive Manager with Proven National Success and Experience in the Home Improvement Industry. Todd Medina was elected to the Board of Directors and introduced as the Company's Chief Operating Officer. Medina has 30 years of industry experience including Senior Level Management Positions representing Major Companies such as Home Depot, Sears, Diamond Home Services, RMA Home Services and Owens Corning. Throughout this time he has been responsible for the completion of over 25,000 home improvement projects, 200 custom homes and several commercial projects. Over the years he consistently relocated around the country to turnaround failing divisions and start new enterprises for these national companies. During this time he managed divisions with annual sales ranging from $20MM to more than $90MM and developed a reputation built on the formation and implementation of simple processes, effective employment profiling, high quality standards of performance and strong fiscal responsibility.

Danny Smith, Chief Executive Officer of PHS, describes the addition of Medina as having a major two-fold effect on the capabilities of the organization, "Todd Medina brings an invaluable working knowledge of the Installed Home Improvement Business at every level, to include a strong network of Loyal Key Managers throughout the country to pull from, significant Manufacturing and Distribution relationships, as well as a Unique and Qualified Installer Workforce, in addition to his strong and proven managerial record both in running a National Field Organization and keeping it tight and profitable."

Smith adds, "Sometimes the key people that get you to where you are today, cannot take you to the next level, which is why we invested in a guy of this pedigree. What makes it more exciting is that I will be able to focus on my strengths to the Company, in the areas of Investor Relations and Key Acquisitions and Mergers."

Medina commented, "What attracted me to PHS was the uniqueness of their approach. They are effectively building an interrelated network of companies within the industry, focused on multiple income streams at the product, service, consumer and geographical levels, and to combine that with a model which shares resources and expenses collectively, it significantly increase efficiencies and makes for a powerful equation that produces Optimum Gross and Net Revenues. With the plans and financial base intact at present, I am confident that PHS will be in a position to complete the groundwork necessary in '07, to realize Sales over $100MM in '08, bringing 15-20% to the bottom line for their shareholders."
