Starline USA (PPAI 112719, Platinum) announced the retirement of Kim Reinecker, who has represented the company in the Southwest territory for the past 16 years and will retire at the end of September. Reinecker is concluding a 40-year career as a supplier representative in the branded merch industry. Reflecting on her career, she said, “The success I enjoyed throughout my career was only possible because of the trust of my customers, the support of my colleagues and the friendships I developed along the way. I am truly blessed to have spent the last 16 years representing Starline and could not think of a better company to end my industry career with.”

The company has named Clay Bridges as Reinecker’s successor in Texas. Bridges brings nearly 25 years of industry experience, most recently on the distributor side, and has recently relocated to Texas. He will assume responsibility for the territory following Reinecker’s retirement.

Brian DeBottis, Starline’s chief revenue officer, thanked Reinecker for her contributions and wished her well in retirement. He also welcomed Bridges to the organization, noting his longstanding commitment to customer service and industry expertise. Bridges will spend the coming month traveling with Reinecker to meet customers and support a smooth transition.
