Salas is tasked with leading the family-owned jeweler’s marketing strategy and driving growth while aligning with its overall business objectives.
The Florida native started her retail career at Neiman Marcus in Palm Beach before moving to Dallas in 2010 to work at its corporate office.

Richard D. Eiseman Jr., CEO of Eiseman Jewels, shared his congratulations.
“Cristina Salas has brought talents to Eiseman Jewels that have allowed a mature company of sixty years to remain current and cutting edge in our brand development and marketing. Without Cristina and her team, the ever- changing requirements of our brand partners in web and digital communication would not be possible,” said Eiseman Jr.
Salas expressed her excitement about the new role.
“It has been incredibly rewarding to work alongside Richard Eiseman, the leadership team, and our talented associates for the past nine years as the organization has continued to grow and celebrate many achievements,” remarked Salas.
She looks forward to building upon the company’s 60-year legacy, she said.
“Directing the strategic vision for the future while focusing on brand identity, positioning in the DFW market, customer experience, and the long-lasting impact for the company's success is truly a privilege.”
Salas earned her bachelor of business administration degree from Florida Atlantic University, later earning her executive MBA in general business at Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business.
She is a member of the Junior League of Dallas, as well as other nonprofits, and is a graduate of the league’s T. Boone Pickens Leadership Institute. She has also had leadership training at the Disney Institute in Orlando, Florida.
