STANLEYTOWN, Va. — Stanley Furniture's Board of Directors has named executive vice president of marketing and sales Glenn Prillaman president and chief operating officer.
Prillaman, the son of Chairman and CEO Albert Prillaman, joined the company in 1993 as a sales representative, following a short period as a manufacturing trainee. Over the past 10 years, he has held various roles in product development and sales.
As president, he will handle day-to-day operations and will continue to oversee sales and marketing. Albert Prillaman will continue to oversee the company's long-term strategy.
Stanley's last president was Jeff Scheffer, who resigned last September and later became president and CEO of Universal Furniture.
In the wake of Scheffer's departure, his responsibilities of president were handled by a team that included Glenn Prillaman, Stephen Bullock, executive vice president of operations, and Doug Payne, executive vice president of finance and administration. Bullock and Payne will now report to Glenn Prillaman, who reports to the company's board of directors.
“Glenn has been a driving force in developing the company's Young America product line into the industry leader in infant-to-teen furniture. He has also led the company's adult product line efforts towards differentiation through brand licensing and semi-custom finish offerings,” said Michael Haley, chairman of the Stanley board's corporate governance and nominating committee. “Glenn's knowledge, experience and understanding of all aspects of our business coupled with his vision will help to prepare the company for continued future success.”
