Stephen Muzyka
VP, Operations
Somerville
Over the last two decades, Stephen has been instrumental in the growth and evolution of retail design and manufacturing company Somerville. He has worked closely with some of the most iconic brands and retailers to design, manufacture and launch display programs across North America, including TD Bank, Loblaws, Napoleon, Ontario Lottery & Gaming, Samsung and Canada Post.
Stephen’s innovative approach to bridging the gap between the needs of the client and creative and manufacturing allows Somerville to act as a powerful extension of a client rather than a third-party supplier. For example, he supported Ontario Lottery and Gaming in creating an interactive experience across 6,000 locations, and is helping Somerville build out its lottery business via a new division called Carousel.
