WHITSETT, N.C. – Luxury home furnishings provider John-Richard has appointed Scott Smith president.
Smith, who previously served as chief merchandising officer, steps into this expanded leadership position as part of a strategic, planned succession framework for current CEO, Alan Galbraith.
“Scott has been an exceptional contributor to John-Richard since joining us three years ago, quickly gaining a firm grasp of the strategies and vision required to enable our next phase of growth,” said Galbraith, adding, “This promotion recognizes his ever-increasing influence, leadership and dedication to our organization’s success.”
The leadership transition positions Smith to ultimately succeed Galbraith as CEO in the future, allowing Galbraith to eventually shift away from day-to-day operations while ensuring the company maintains deep experiential continuity.
