GREENWICH, Conn., Sept. 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The most successful fine art gallery network in the country-which offers collectors master works from the likes of Picasso, Chagall, Dali, Warhol, Haring, Erte and many more in locations from coast to coast-requires a senior team of seasoned professionals to ensure it remains at the forefront of fine art retailing.

With this in mind, Martin Lawrence Galleries (MLG), with galleries located in Soho, San Francisco, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Lahaina, Costa Mesa, Oak Brook, Boston, Dallas and La Jolla, today announced it has made important changes to its leadership team.

On September 1, 2015, MLG promoted Diane Goldman-Chief Financial Officer-to the additional role of General Manager of the company. Simultaneously, Todd Tieche has joined the team as National Director of Sales and Marketing.

Diane Goldman is a 17 year MLG veteran who has been responsible for all of the company’s financial, real estate and personnel responsibilities. Prior to that, Ms. Goldman worked for Guinness Import Company, Dr Pepper/Cadbury North America and KPMG Peat Marwick. She received her Bachelor and Master of Business Administration from Pace University.

Todd Tieche joins MLG following 25 successful years in luxury wholesaling and retailing. He worked for Swiss watch brands such as Baume & Mercier, Morellato-Sector and Parmigiani Fleurier where he built sales in North and South America by over 60% in the past four years alone.

Eric Dannemann, President of MLG, commented “We could not be more delighted to recognize Diane Goldman for her considerable contributions to the success of our company, and look forward to her lending even more of her expertise and wisdom to help maximize the opportunities that await us moving forward.” He continued “Having Todd become an important part of our team is equally superb news. His experience and skill set is exactly what we need to continue to grow. We welcome him with open arms.”
