Management at Ergotron

Jane Rodmyre Payfer joined Ergotron in November 2004 as Director of Marketing, bringing to the role over fifteen years of experience in commercial and consumer marketing in organizations both large and small. She progressed from the traditional areas of sales promotion, advertising, and product marketing to management positions, where she had additional responsibilities in forging industrial alliances, organizing and establishing standards through international committees, constructing licensing consortiums, developing buying behavior models, and reorganizing product logistics, distribution, and sales to convert operational expenses into revenue contribution.

As the Vice President of Marketing at Ergotron, Jane is responsible for leading the marketing team by developing a market vision in support of Ergotron’s strategic direction and brand image, formulating and communicating a market strategy, and assuring that her multi-talented team is executing tasks on time and on budget.

Prior to joining Ergotron, Jane’s responsibility for optical media products at Imation Corp. gave her worldwide experience in managing currency related pricing issues, forecasting product life cycles, and adapting to market saturation variables. She was most recently Director of Marketing for Visual Circuits, Inc., a major supplier of network attachable video replay servers.

Jane is currently Board Chair of The Center for Independent Artists, a local organization that helps artists of diverse cultural perspectives develop their medium and showcase their production. Jane and her husband Walter are the proud parents of six children, two sons-in-law, two grandchildren and five grand puppies. When not traveling for work, they frequently are found traveling to see this widely disseminated brood, who are found in New York, Chicago, L.A., Columbus, Mississippi, Boise, Idaho, and thankfully, cross-town in Plymouth, MN.
