The Bombay Company Inc.'s Carmie Mehrlander has resigned as chairman, president, CEO and director, and the Fort Worth, TX, company said yesterday in a statement that “the board has taken this opportunity to refocus the management of the company.”
Searches have begun for both an independent non-executive chairman and a new CEO. An interim executive committee has been formed under the chairmanship of Brian N. Priddy, executive vice president-operations, to direct the company's business until the appointments are made.
The interim committee will report to the board's Nominations and Governance Committee, chaired by Nigel Travis, which will also oversee the searches for the new chairman and new CEO.
