Lafayette, La.—Stuller Inc. announced Monday that it is promoting President Danny Clark to CEO while Chief Operating Officer Belit Myers will take on the additional role of president, effective Jan. 1, 2026.

Clark succeeds company founder and CEO Matt Stuller.

Matt Stuller still will serve as executive chairman of Stuller’s board of directors and will remain involved in the company’s day-to-day operations and in “shaping Stuller’s strategy and supporting its continued evolution.”

“I am proud of everything we have accomplished together and excited for what comes next,” he said in the news release announcing the promotions.
 
“As founder and executive chairman of the board, I will remain fully engaged in Stuller’s mission to provide jewelers worldwide with a wide selection of quality products and friendly service you can count on.”

Clark has been with Stuller since 2009 and was promoted to president in 2013 to replace the retiring Jay Jackson.

Over the past 16 years, Clark has “guided the company through periods of transformation and growth while maintaining a steadfast focus on serving customers and employees,” Stuller said.

Myers joined Stuller in 2002 as vice president of compliance, inventory, and information.

In her 20-plus years with the company, Myers has led multiple sectors of the business, including finance, fulfillment, manufacturing, merchandising, and information technology, “uniting teams across functions,” Stuller said.

She was promoted to her current role as COO in 2023

Matt Stuller started his eponymous company in his native Lafayette, Louisiana, in 1970.

As he explained to National Jeweler during a 2020 interview on the “My Next Question” webinar series, his interest in jewelry started during his sophomore year of high school. 

He went to work for a local jeweler and “fell in love with jewelry.” 

During his senior year in 1969, Matt Stuller partnered with the store’s bench jeweler, who had been teaching him how to repair jewelry, to open a trade shop inside his father’s orthodontics building. 

“When I graduated from high school in ‘69, I had this wild and crazy idea by my experiences of getting the products, the components, the findings, that I needed for the trade shop, it was difficult to come by. And the people were, although nice, they weren’t helpful,” he said during the webinar.  

So, Matt Stuller started his own business supplying local jewelers in southern Louisiana with jewelry components.

“And that is how it all got started,” he said.
