Fahey, a seasoned marketer, will lead the Marketing team in conceptualizing and implementing Integra Optics’ overall market strategy for domestic and emerging international opportunities. His responsibilities include business and market development, research and planning, strategic direction for promotion, PR and advertising, and strong support for the company’s sales teams. Most recently, Fahey held the post of Marketing Agency Director for Proctors, a regional network of theaters and a travel and tourism bureau.
