"After careful consideration and in light of our company's growth plans, we have decided to initiate a search for a CEO to help lead us to a new stage of success in the future," said Mitchell Gold, chairman and CEO, who co-founded the company with Bob Williams, president of design, in 1989. 

"Bob and I built this company from the ground up with an incredible team, and now we want someone to take the reins, work with us to transition the company to the next generation of leadership, and allow me to focus on my strengths, including new strategic partnerships for both our products and our ethos," added Gold.

Gold will continue as chairman following completion of the search.

Based in Taylorsville, N.C., the company operates a manufacturing and distribution center spanning close to 1 million square feet that supports the brand's retail, wholesale, office, and contract/hospitality sectors.

"With 32 stores and more on the horizon, we are particularly interested in finding someone who is an expert in retail to help guide our expansion,” said Williams.

Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams has retained the services of global executive search and leadership advisory firm Spencer Stuart to lead the search for the next CEO.
