Dallas, Texas-based Eiseman Jewels has named Taylor Frank as its new president as the company prepares to celebrate its 60th anniversary this autumn.
Frank is the company’s fourth president, and the second non-member of the Eiseman family to hold the role.
He has served as managing director since 2018, and will assume his new role on 1 May.
Richard D Eiseman, Jr, whose parents co-founded the company in 1963, will remain as CEO.
“[Frank] has not only been an important member of the Eiseman team of experts, but also an innovative and effective leader during his five-year tenure as managing director,” said Eiseman, Jr.
Eiseman, Jr. credited Taylor with guiding the company through the pandemic, allowing it to continue to serve its clients, and launching its concierge programme to provide a high level of service to its clients.
“And perhaps most importantly, he has upheld the core pillars upon which Eiseman Jewels was founded by my parents – expert service, quality, value and philanthropy. I can think of no one more qualified to lead the company as we plan for its future.As President, Frank will oversee the day-to-day operations of the retailer.
His executive team will include executive vice president Andre Vorster, vice president Urek Reznik, vice president Maureen Thomas and vice president Michael Johnson.
“I am extremely honoured to serve as President of Eiseman Jewels. I know it is a position few have held within our organisation and comes with a great deal of responsibility as we focus on the future of the company,” said Frank.Frank was born in California and spent his early years there and in Colorado before moving to Dallas in 2000.
He graduated from The Episcopal School of Dallas in 2007 and then attended Brigham Young University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Recreation Management and Leadership from the Marriott School of Business.
He then returned to Dallas to earn his MBA in General Business from Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business.
Frank got his start in the jewellery world while in college, taking a job at a local jewellery store to help pay for an engagement ring for his then-girlfriend, Amberly.They have been married for 12 years and have five children.
Frank has worked in the luxury jewellery and watch world for 12 years, starting at Tiffany & Co. before joining Eiseman Jewels.
“I look forward to continuing my partnership with Richard Eiseman, knowing that there is more to learn as I transition into this prestigious position. I also recognise that with my role as President comes an immense amount of trust from the Eiseman family and our 30 Eiseman colleagues,” said Frank.
The future of the business is “very bright”, said Eiseman Jr, hinting at exciting news for the retailer to be announced this autumn and next year.
