Mr. Boyer also held the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Michaels Stores, Inc. from January 2003 to March 2006.

Prior to joining Michaels, Boyer served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Kmart Corporation and held multiple positions with Sears, Roebuck & Company, advancing to the post of Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Earlier in his career, he served in senior capacities with the Pillsbury Company and Kraft General Foods. Boyer began his career as an accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers in 1980.

Michael Rouleau, Tuesday Morning’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Having worked with Jeff at Michaels, I can attest to his wealth of retail experience and ability to help transform organizations. We’re delighted he has joined the team and look forward to benefiting from his expertise and insight.” 

“I am very pleased to join the Tuesday Morning team, and am eager to work again with Michael to help ensure the Company realizes its potential as a leading value retailer,” Mr. Boyer added. 

“On behalf of the entire Tuesday Morning team, I also want to thank Stephanie for her tireless commitment to Tuesday Morning, particularly amid significant organizational change,” Mr. Rouleau concluded. “We wish her well in her future professional endeavors, and know she has a bright future.”

Tuesday Morning also announced today that Board members Starlette Johnson and David Green will not stand for re-election to the Company’s Board of Directors at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
