With more than thirty-three years in the window treatment business, Demestre most recently served as QMotion’s director of sales and business development. He began his career in the window coverings industry in the customer service department and then moved to be a sales representative for VIMCO in 1981.

“I thrive on the challenges encountered while building a nascent organization into an industry stronghold,” said Demestre. “In the short time since QMotion Advanced Shading Systems were introduced, they’ve garnered praise from experts throughout the window covering industry as the breakout product that has what it takes to grow the motorized shade category from a niche market to a mainstay in the industry. QMotion Shades provide exciting new options that are both stylish and cost-effective, especially for residential, hospitality and commercial markets.”
