NEW YORK — Ultraleather by Ultrafabrics has appointed Diane Pressler as residential sales director. Pressler will be tasked with leading the brand’s residential growth strategy, strengthening its presence across OEM and retail, expanding distribution and aligning cross-functional teams to support scalable, long-term momentum.
Prior to joining Ultrafabrics, Pressler was regional director at The Rug Co., supporting sustained growth and market expansion. Prior to that, she was vice president of global trade sales at Perennials and Sutherland, where she helped lead global trade and customer service strategies across trade and hospitality channels, supporting growth and international expansion.
Pressler’s earlier leadership includes senior roles spanning luxury and retail operations, including vice president of retail, U.S. at NYX Professional Makeup (L’Oréal); vice president of retail stores, operations, L&D and Visual Merchandising at Intermix (Gap Inc.); senior vice president, Head of Global Retail at Marc Jacobs International (LVMH); and vice president of retail stores, North America at Tory Burch. Pressler began her career with a long tenure at Ralph Lauren, helping drive strategy and execution across the brand’s home and apparel divisions.
“I’ve always been drawn to brands that sit at the intersection of design, innovation and performance, and Ultrafabrics does that beautifully,” Pressler said. “I really resonate with the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, while still being deeply design-driven. It feels modern, forward-thinking and aligned with where the residential and hospitality markets are headed. I’m excited to bring my retail and trade experience to a brand that has strong foundations, with tremendous runway for growth in the residential space.”
In her new role, Pressler will focus on clarifying Ultraleather’s residential positioning, deepening relationships within the design community, and ensuring partners across the channel feel supported with the tools, programs and alignment needed to win. She will work closely with internal stakeholders to define success metrics, strengthen the go-to-market roadmap, and build a foundation for profitable, sustainable growth.
“Diane’s background scaling premium brands across retail, trade and global markets makes her an exceptional addition to our team,” said Sergio Prosperino, senior vice president of sales, marketing and brand at Ultrafabrics. “Her ability to translate strategy into execution, and to build the relationships and infrastructure that drive long-term growth, will be instrumental as we continue expanding Ultraleather’s presence in the residential space.”
