VAN NUYS, Calif. — Digital Playground has named Frederic Walme as the new director of novelty sales.
The company said Walme comes to Digital Playground with a strong track record in sales and business development. During his four years with Jimmyjane, he increased the presence of the brand worldwide and more than doubled sales.

I am looking forward to continuing to grow the business with our existing and future clients. Additionally, I cannot wait for everyone to discover the groundbreaking new product line that we will be launching later this year.”
With a MBA in marketing and entrepreneurship and a background in the cosmetics industry, Walme has developed strong sales strategies and has extensive experience supporting distributors and retailers, the company said.
“We couldn't be more excited to have Frederic join us as the director of sales for Digital Playground Novelties,” said Farley Cahen, DP’s chief operating officer. “His experience and proven track record of success, combined with his strong relationships worldwide, make him the ideal addition to our team.”
