Elissa Kaplan

AP&G Co. has hired Elissa Kaplan as director of enterprise planning to support its growing Catchmaster product line.

“I am looking forward to this new challenge with the Catchmaster team,” Kaplan said. “I will draw upon my previous IT project management experience to facilitate a better working dynamic, eliminate pain points and help cross-functional teams to work better together.”

Kaplan’s primary focus will be process improvement and streamlining procedures to help move product from inception to customer’s hands faster.

Kaplan joined the management team at the Bayonne, N.J. office, reporting to Jeffrey Frisch, VP of operations.

“With the addition of a director of enterprise planning, we look forward to newfound efficiencies that will help us to better serve our customers,” Frisch said.

Prior to joining AP&G, Kaplan spent 15 years in project and program management and process development most recently at The Vitamin Shoppe and previously at Toys “R” Us. She served as project manager for new product development.
