Blue Bell Mattress, the largest King Koil licensee in the U.S., has promoted Richard Tauber to executive vice president of sales and Rebecca Gray to senior vice president of sales and marketing.
In his new role, Tauber will oversee the company’s network of sales representatives. He reports to Blue Bell CEO Mark Kolovson.
Tauber joined the company in 2014 as senior vice president of sales, and earlier held sales and sales management positions at Serta, Spring Air and Simmons.
Gray has been with Blue Bell since 2004 when she joined the company as vice president of business development. Prior to her recent promotion, Gray was vice president of sales for the company.
In her new role, Gray will oversee and set the company’s strategic marketing direction. She also reports to Kolovson.
“Much of our significant growth over the last couple of years can be attributed to Richard and Rebecca’s diligent work,” Kolovson said. “They’ve built an impressive sales network that continues to make an impact in our marketplace.”
In addition to its King Koil business, Blue Bell is a licensee of Natura World, and produces a variety of private-label innerspring and hybrid bedding for retailers in the East, Southeast and Midwest.
