Bailey names regional sales managers

Bailey Nurseries has named Nick Stevens as eastern regional sales manager and Carlton Davidson as western regional sales manager.

These strategic leadership additions come as sales manager Jimmy Kuon prepares to retire in February. Kuon’s tenure has been marked by exceptional sales growth and a legacy of mentorship that elevated both his team and the company. His commitment to fostering relationships and cultivating excellence has been instrumental to Bailey’s success and the company wishes him all the best in retirement.

Nick Stevens started at Bailey seven years ago and brings a proven record of success. As a territory sales representative, he collaborated with customers in Ohio and Michigan and later managed Bailey Licensees nationwide, playing a pivotal role in the growth of Bailey Consumer Brands.

In his new role, Stevens will lead and mentor a team of sales representatives to ensure customers’ needs and goals are met in the region.

Carlton Davidson joins the Sales team with over 25 years of experience in nursery operations and management. A graduate of Auburn University with a degree in horticulture, Davidson has excelled in production planning, analysis, and management, most recently serving as operations planning and scheduling manager at Bailey’s West Coast division.

In his new role, Davidson will lead a team in the region to strengthen relationships and drive growth.

As Stevens and Davidson start their new roles, Dan Bailey, central region sales manager, will continue to lead sales in that region.

“We are thrilled to welcome Nick and Carlton to the team,” McCormack said. “Nick’s exceptional sales expertise and Carlton’s deep operational knowledge create a dynamic team that will elevate our sales strategy and customer engagement across all regions.”
