This Friday, local business Stormy Kromer will welcome a new, albeit well know CEO. Owner and CEO Bob Jacquart will step down and his daughter Gina Thorsen will take over. As reported byUpperMichiganSource.com, Jacquart worked as a sewing machine operator, purchaser, manager, and CEO, and plans to continue on as a mentor. Thorsen says it’s an honor to be named the first female CEO of Stormy Kromer and its parent company, Jacquart Fabric Products. She says she will continue the 100-plus-year legacy of the company and also expand its presence in the national market.
