Heading: Serta Simmons Bedding Shakes Up Leadership Amidst Financial Overhaul 🛏️💼
Serta Simmons Bedding Appoints New Chief Executive Officer
Hey there! Serta Simmons Bedding, one of North America's biggest mattress manufacturers, is shaking things up in the C-suite, appointing a new CEO and CMO following their exit from Chapter 11, if you catch my drift. 🤝
The company, which owns Serta, Beautyrest, Simmons, and Tuft & Needle, has tapped Charlie Eitel as the new CEO. Eitel is already a board member and previously served as the chairman and CEO of Simmons Bedding. Joining the team as the new CMO is Tim Oakhill, who was the former CMO of Simmons Bedding. Both changes are effective right away. 🎯
In other news, Mark Genender will become the executive chairman of the board, as announced alongside the CEO and CMO appointments. Genender is currently a managing partner at Bristol Growth Capital, and James Loree, the former CEO of Stanley Black & Decker, has been appointed to the board as well.
