Winter Park, Fla. --- The Henin Group, parent company of Henin Homes, has promoted Matt Boltz to vice president of Henin Homes, Inc. Jerome Henin, founder and president of the Henin Group, developer of Riviera Bella overlooking the St. Johns River in DeBary, said Boltz joined the firm in early 2012 and took over as director of sales and operations at Henin Homes. Boltz has more than 20 years of experience as a homebuilding executive in Florida and was formerly division president and regional vice president for a national homebuilding firm overseeing production and semi-custom homebuilding operations for 17 years. “Since Matt Boltz joined us as director of sales and operations, we have seen a significant improvement and positive changes,” Henin said. “We have quadrupled our production, and we have reorganized many of our procedures and processes to make them more efficient, more productive and easier to manage,” Henin said. Henin said he is enthusiastic about the future. “This is the first time in years that I have been able to concentrate on managing our growth, and while I know the real estate recovery has yet to hit full stride, I can confidently say we are far better off than we were a year ago,” Henin said. “Matt Boltz is one of the big reasons for that,” Henin said.
