Eric Graham, president of case goods and upholstery resource Fine Furniture Design since July 2015, has resigned.
The company said two senior executives, Vice President of Product Development Erin Sullivan and Director of Finance and Systems Beth Swann would run the company on an interim basis while it conducts a search for a new president.
Both will report to Michael Moh, chairman of Fine Furniture Shanghai, parent of U.S.-based Fine Furniture Design.
Swann has been an executive of Fine Furniture Design for nearly three years, while Sullivan recently joined the company after a 19-year tenure at Frontgate, a leading home luxury multichannel retailer with catalog, e-commerce and retail operations. Her most recent role there was vice president of merchandising.
“We have a very strong leadership team in place that has come together to continue to execute our business plan while our search for a new leader is underway,” said Moh. “Our brand has been growing and evolving tremendously over the past several years, and we expect to continue that momentum with the path for future growth and success that we have put in place. We wish Eric the best in his new endeavors.”
