DGSE Companies Names Dusty Clem as Chairman, President and CEO
Brett Burford, CFO, Named to Board of Directors
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 21, 2014--DGSE Companies, Inc. (NYSE MKT: DGSE), a leading wholesaler and retailer of jewelry, diamonds, fine watches, and precious metal bullion and rare coin products, today announced that James D. “Dusty” Clem has been appointed to the positions of Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of DGSE Companies, Inc., effective immediately. Mr. Clem replaces James Vierling, who has resigned as CEO and as a director of DGSE to accept a position with Elemetal, LLC (“Elemetal”), DGSE’s largest shareholder.
In addition, Brett Burford, who has served as DGSE’s Chief Financial Officer since August 2012, was named to DGSE’s Board of Directors, effective immediately, replacing Mr. Vierling on the DGSE Board.
Mr. Clem became Chief Operating Officer of DGSE Companies, Inc. in December 2012. Previously, he served as DGSE’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing from 2008 to 2012. Prior to 2008, Mr. Clem was with the Heritage Organization, LLC, an estate planning firm, for seven years where he served in several positions including Vice President of Sales and Marketing and ultimately Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Clem holds a B.B.A. in business from the University of Texas at Arlington.
“I am excited to lead DGSE Companies through the next phase of its evolution,” commented Mr. Clem. “I wish to thank Jim Vierling for his years of service to the Company, its employees, customers and shareholders. He played a pivotal role in helping the new management team overcome the challenges we faced, and reposition DGSE for future success. With most of the legacy issues now behind us, this is the ideal time for this transition as we take the next step towards sustained profitability.”
Mr. Vierling added, “I am certain that Dusty is the ideal person to lead DGSE into the future. I look forward to facilitating a smooth and orderly transition, and continuing to support the Company in the months and years to come in my new role at Elemetal, DGSE’s largest shareholder.”
