“This move is a milestone in Trader’s growth as a new, independent company,” CEO Lori Stacy said in a statement.  “… We were focused on creating an open, collaborative environment where our innovative teams could thrive. The new office enables us to add new positions including 20% growth this year across a variety of sales, marketing, customer service, account management, technology and operations disciplines.”
