Accomplished professional with two decades of experience will broaden the company’s position among industry partners
COFCO, a Henricksen Company, a leading national contract furniture dealer, is excited to announce that Vice President of Sales Erin Costello has been promoted to General Manager of the Philadelphia region. In this role, Costello will lead the office as it strengthens its relationships within the architecture and design, healthcare and workplace industries while pursuing new opportunities throughout target sectors.
“Erin’s growth at COFCO has been marked by strong, people-first leadership. She consistently empowers her teams, cultivates collaboration and drives significant achievements for the company,” said Joan Waters, Henricksen’s Divisional Manager, D.C. and PA. “I look forward to seeing her apply this same energy and focus in her new role, continuing to motivate her teams, expand our client base and deepen key relationships.”
After graduating from Susquehanna University in 2003, Costello joined COFCO and steadily rose through the ranks, being named Vice President of Sales in 2022. Her embodiment of the brand’s mission and longstanding relationships will be invaluable in this new role as she guides teams toward securing new partnerships. During her time at COFCO, Costello forged key partnerships, including one with the University of Pennsylvania Health Care System, leading to the company’s contract for the Penn Pavilion, which opened in 2021 as the nation’s second-largest hospital at 1.5 million square feet. As the Philadelphia general manager, she will continue to foster trust with industry leaders to build on COFCO’s reputation as an integral resource for its current and future partners.
“The depth of relationships my teams and I have built over the years continues to be COFCO’s differentiating factor,” said Erin Costello, General Manager of COFCO, A Henricksen Company, Philadelphia. “Knowing that COFCO can be relied upon to achieve their goals and support them every step of the way is crucial for our valued clients. Leveraging our extensive network of high-quality vendors, including our premier partner Allsteel and other HNI Corporation brands, ensures they receive the best possible outcome with us on their side.”
In addition to her extensive experience within the contract furnishing industry, Erin is an active member of CoreNet and served on the Philadelphia chapter’s executive board from 2019-2024. In her spare time, she volunteers with Girl Scouts of the USA, empowering her four daughters and other young women to understand their worth as future leaders.
