Middleby Residential has grown tremendously over the past few years by adding new brands like Kamado Joe, Masterbuilt, and Char-Griller to their portfolio. They’ve also been facing macroeconomic headwinds, like other outdoor and residential brands.
As they work on their strategy to significantly increase their margins, they appointed a new executive. Anne Puricelli has been promoted to the role of President of Middleby Residential Distribution, N.A.
Anne is a true visionary in brand management, product design, luxury channel sales strategies and consumer marketing. She is highly respected and well-known within the residential appliance industry. With more than two decades in the industry, Anne has cultivated many long-standing, trusted relationships, which will serve her well in this new role. I believe under Anne’s leadership we are well positioned for many future successes in Middleby Residential. Please join me in congratulating Anne on her promotion while offering your full support.
Najib Maalouf, Middleby Residential Group President

She also led strategic initiatives like Middleby Residential’s large presence at the 2024 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS). It was their that Middleby announced that they were bringing Josper to the US market.
