Naples, FL – November 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / Luxury home furnishings retailer Clive Daniel Home has tapped Lori Mutobaya for the position of General Manager of its second store in Boca Raton, Fla., expected to open in January. She is a sales executive with over 25 years in retail sales – including 15 years in the luxury furnishings industry.

As General Manager, Mutobaya will work closely with the Clive Daniel Home executive team to chart the course and guide the direction of the new store, setting policy and interacting with business vendors and outreach community endeavors.

Commented Daniel Lubner, CEO of Clive Daniel Home, “We were seeking the strongest leader in the county to manage our new Boca operation. Having worked with Lori in the past, we were familiar with her talents and recognize that she is perfectly poised for the challenge. Lori is highly capable of leading the employee selection process and bringing together the Boca Raton management team and its associates, expected to number 60-65 employees at opening. I actually consider her as much as a of a proprietor as a general manager since she possesses the critical thinking skills to lead the operation in a direction far into the future.”

Lori MutobayaPreviously, Mutobaya was the General Manager of the 100,000 sq ft Las Vegas store owned by Clive and Daniel Lubner, the owners of Clive Daniel Home. Her furniture expertise was gained after five years with Stickely Furniture in White Plains and two years with Gabberts Furniture & Design in Dallas. She began her career with Master Craft Interiors in Washington, D.C.

Said Carnegie Mellon grad Lori Mutobaya, “This is the job in the furniture design world that everyone wanted … I am delighted that they chose me for the job. I consider Clive and Daniel Lubner the most creative people in our business and am delighted to be part of their unfolding story of growth. Much like our Naples store, we anticipate that visitors to our Boca showroom will be inspired by the overall soul of the beautiful building.”

The Boca Raton store has been built from the ground up on Glades Road, a thoroughfare between Federal Highway and Interstate 95. The upscale retailer has invested about $12 million in the project, with $8 million for construction on the 70,000 square foot two-level building.

“This facility will be one of the most upscale retail stores in Boca Raton,” added Mutobaya, “and will definitely be a ‘must-stop’ destination for anyone looking to buy fine home furnishings in South Florida.”

“Since opening in Naples in 2011, we have maintained the core team in merchandising and logistics from our days leading the former Robb & Stucky,” said Lubner. “In Boca Raton, we expect a crossover in styles and manufacturing with our Naples store, but it will also be merchandised with specialty items geared toward the tastes of Florida’s East Coast. Like our Naples store, the Boca showroom will feature a total home concept with everything for a customer’s residential design under one roof.”

Since opening in April 2011, Clive Daniel Home (www.CliveDaniel.com) has won 119 awards from local, regional and national publications as well as building industry organizations for interior design and marketing excellence and has consistently been named the Best Furniture Showroom in various competitions. They plan the same commitment to their new showroom and retail operation in Boca Raton. Contact Daniel Lubner at 239-292-3717.
