Pa. House begins search for new chief
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, April 21, 2003
Monroe, Mich. — A search is under way for a new president at La-Z-Boy division Pennsylvania House following Tom Tilley's departure to head Thomasville.
"We'll make a selection soon," said Jerry Kiser, president and chief executive officer of La-Z-Boy.
Pennsylvania House is coming off one of its best High Point markets ever with the debut of New Standards: The Steve Tyrell Collection. The introduction took Pennsylvania House in a new direction, blending modern touches with familiar forms.
"We don't want to lose any of the momentum we've been able to generate over the last few markets," Kiser said. "We'll continue to build on that."
Kiser credited industry veteran Tilley with much of Pennsylvania House's recent success.
Tilley took over the top spot at Pennsylvania House early last year after overseeing case goods merchandising for all La-Z-Boy wood lines.
