FINDANYFLOOR.COM® SENIOR MANAGEMENT
One of the major reasons that FindAnyFloor.com has become The Web's Flooring Authority™ is the caliber of people who
developed and maintain it. After coming up with the idea for FindAnyFloor.com, founder and CEO Damien Patton set out to
recruit the most talented and industrious people he could find. He saw this as imperative if he was to achieve his goal of
creating the most comprehensive flooring information resource in the world – a goal that was reached within three
months of the launch of FindAnyFloor.com.
The senior management team listed below have spearheaded this effort.
