RAPAPORT... DGSE Companies, a wholesaler and retailer of jewelry and
watches, appointed Nabil J. Lopez as chief financial officer (CFO) following
the resignation of C. Brett Burford, the Dallas-based group said in a statement
October 29.
Lopez, currently DGSE’s senior vice president and
controller, joined the company in September 2012 from Texan jewelry and watch
retailer Zale Corporation, where he was director of financial reporting and internal
controls. He will also replace Burford on the board of directors, according to the
statement.
Lopez played a “critical” role in the rebuilding of DGSE’s
accounting, financial reporting and internal control functions since 2012 when
the company was required to restate certain financial results due to irregularities, chief executive officer (CEO)
and chairman Matthew Peakes said in the statement.
Burford, who was CFO since August 2012, is taking up the
same role at prescription eyewear retailer Eyemart Express, which is also
headquartered in Texas, according to DGSE.
The appointment comes close on the heels of Peakes’
appointment as CEO and chairman on September 16. He joined DGSE from
Dallas-based precious metals company Elemetal, where he was director of
business development. He was hired to replace James D. "Dusty" Clem,
the company said in a statement September 11.
