Carousel Designs was recently featured in an article by Fortune Small Business Magazine / CNN Money. The article focuses on the company’s ongoing growth efforts led by Allan Sicat and Jonathan Hartley, the company’s President and CEO. Selected as the July/August 2009 Small Business Makeover recipient, Fortune and CNN Money solicited the assistance of 3 external business consultants to provide practical advice on business obstacles the company leaders face.

Specifically, these consultants provided insight and shared their expertise in the areas of brand marketing, finance, and inventory management. Because of the co-owner’s unique connection as West Point classmates and former Army officers, the article humorously and ironically relates their experiences in the baby bedding industry to that of a battle zone.
