Chad believes in a hands-on approach to leadership and absolutely loves connecting and interacting with team members from all across the company, and we are blessed to have him as a Co-CEO! Happy Anniversary, Chad!

Leadership Spotlight: Today we are featuring Joey Guyton, VP of Bedding, North America. Here's what he loves about working at DSG: "The people that make up this organization are our secret sauce, and the family environment that our founder and leaders have created within this company cannot be duplicated. There is a culture of love and caring that was created from the beginning, and it continues to carry this organization to new heights every year. I am blessed to be a part of something this special." Fun fact: In college, Joey taught himself how to juggle and considers himself a professional juggler today. "At least that's what I tell my kids," said Guyton.

Leadership spotlight: Today we are featuring Kristi Ellis, EVP of Supply Chain. Here's what she has to say about working at DSG: "What I love most about working with DSG is the culture. We have a culture of winning, team spirit, and agility. We learned so much through the pandemic and post-pandemic which required the company to adjust and pivot. Watching this team do that has been nothing short of amazing. The teams support each other and strive for excellence every day. I am very proud to be a part this winning culture."

We are grateful for our DSG Prayer Warriors Community, a safe place where DSG team members can connect, support, encourage, and pray for one another. Volunteers from across the company commit to lead the prayer call series. We are thrilled to have Sales Manager Suzie Martinez leading the call over the next few weeks!

We know how to party in Fiesta! Drew Maddux, EVP of People Development, was on location in one of our Ashley stores in San Antonio, Texas with Dwanye Hernandez, General Sales Manager, to film a training video to help our sales team sharpen their skills on their journey of continuous growth and learning.
