Franciscan Ministries welcomed Brad Barnett as its new Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Prior to joining the Ministry, Barnett served as the Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Elegance Living where he led business development and lead acquisition strategies to drive occupancy. His experience will be especially valuable as the Ministry continues to grow.
"I am blessed to have the opportunity to join Franciscan Ministries and its strong culture of 'Living Joyfully'" Barnett said. "I look forward to partnering with our knowledgeable team of senior living professionals to drive census growth and share our culture with new residents."
During his time at Elegance Living, Barnett oversaw sales performance and objectives, profitability and overall sales strategy for 39 communities with a combined revenue of nearly $200 million.
Barnett brings more than 15 years of executive sales and marketing experience across several industries, including senior living and hospitality. His hospitality experience includes leadership roles at HRI Lodging & Metwest Terra Hospitality, Schulte Hospitality Group, Dream Hotel Group, Highgate Hotels and HEI Hotels & Resorts.
"Adding Brad to our team will allow us to continue to disrupt the status quo of traditional senior living sales," said Franciscan Ministries CEO and President Judy Amiano. "Brad's hospitality background coupled with his experience in senior living will continue to position our Ministry as a leading provider of both owned and managed senior services."
