Stanley Furniture Company, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors has elected Glenn Prillaman as President and Chief Operating Officer. Glenn Prillaman most recently served as Executive Vice President – Marketing and Sales and as one of the three members of the Office of the President since September 2008.

In addition to overseeing marketing and sales, Douglas I. Payne, Executive Vice President – Finance and Administration and Stephen A.

Prillaman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. 

“In this period of unprecedented challenges for our industry, I will focus my energies as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on strategic issues while Glenn will be responsible for all operational aspects of the business,” said Albert L. Prillaman. 

“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 P. Haley, Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors.  “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,” concluded Mr. Haley.
