Leanin’ Tree, a vendor specializing in greeting cards, has appointed Karl Kunz as its new CEO. Kunz brings extensive experience in business and finance to the role, along with a deep commitment to the company’s mission.
Prior to this appointment, Kunz has served on the board of directors for Leanin’ Tree’s employee ownership entity, Dream Ranch Holdings Co., for the past three years, most of that time serving as chairman. Kunz succeeds Nick Anderson in the new CEO role. In his new role, Kunz will lead operations from the company’s headquarters in Mead, Colorado.
“Leanin’ Tree has been focused on strengthening our infrastructure and processes, including relocating production and offices to a newly built facility,” says Kunz. “With the launch of new brands—Willow & Ivy Press, Ranch Rebel Co. and Wag Tales—we are reaffirming our position as an industry leader. I’m excited to lead the company into this next chapter of growth and innovation.”
Since 1949, Leanin’ Tree has developed deep roots in the greeting card industry. Leanin’ Tree has also been an employee-owned company since 2022.
