Our Management Team

Scott joined our team in early 2009 with over 30 years of hands-on experience in the Window Treatment industry. After an early career in advertising/marketing, he joined his family business where he learned the retail, and installation, side of our industry from the ground up. He successfully created and managed their installation company for 12 years, learning the “Tricks of the Trade” first hand. He left the family business in 2005 to take a position with the Hunter Douglas Shutter Division as Shutter Sales Specialist. His range of experience gives him unique insight into how to work with you, your customers, and Hunter Douglas when it comes to finding the right solution to any sales, marketing, product application or installation challenge.

Dolores joined Tentina in 1998 as an administrative assistant to the sales department. One year later she was promoted to training manager for inside staff and customers. Her enthusiasm for our products and promotion programs lead her to the marketing department where she is now the manager. Her extensive knowledge allows her to provide our dealers with all the assistance they need to take advantage of all of our extensive promotional programs.

Maureen started at Tentina in 1992 as executive secretary. In 1994 she accepted the position of customer service manager which she held for several years. Maureen left Tentina in 1999 but rejoined us in 2006. She came back with a renewed zest for helping our dealers solve the many challenges that come with selling a custom product. She works very closely with our customers helping them to provide solutions to any challenge.

Julia joined Tentina in 2002 as assistant production manager. Over the years she was able to work in every product department learning our product from the ground up. In 2007 she became production manager for the entire plant. Julia understands that our customers depend on us for high quality and timely delivery and makes it her mission to provide our dealers with both.

One of our longest service employees, Angela started her career at Tentina in 1977. She started as a part time file clerk working her way up through customer service, office manager’s assistant, and computer programmer’s assistant and finally in 1990 to accounts receivable and credit manager. Angela’s long service and experience with all facets of our business gives her the insight to be able to provide dealers with support that assures no interruption of service.

Our longest serving employee, Rudy has worked at Tentina since the beginning in 1969. At that time Rudy helped to design and build the looms that were used to weave woven wood and woven aluminum material. Rudy is our chief engineer at Tentina and he keeps our factory running. Because he knows how shades are made he has a talent for designing creative solutions to window treatment installation challenges

Thomas started at Tentina in 2000 as receiving manager. When Tom was looking for another challenge he was offered the position of I.T. associate. It soon became clear that Tom's understanding of our systems and computers made him the perfect choice for I.T. manager. He appreciates the role technology plays to help Tentina and our dealers grow and compete in an ever changing marketplace. Tom is also in charge of our “Green Initiative” which involves finding ways to make Tentina and our customers’ responsible global citizens.

Barbara is another long time employee at Tentina, joining our team in 1988 as assistant office manager. Barbara became office manager in 1989. Barbara’s responsibilities include overseeing corporate finances and our human resources department. She coordinates intra-office activities to make sure that the flow of communication between all departments is kept open at all times.

Mary joined our staff in 1994 as a temporary production department supervisor. Her temporary job became permanent when she was asked to reorganize the purchasing department. Her experience on the factory floor and 20 years in retail had taught her the importance of good inventory control and "owning the right thing at the right time". This is one of the biggest challenges in a custom business but one that Mary clearly enjoys.
