I look forward to helping build the systems and operational foundation that will enable the company to serve families with excellence, preserve important legacies, and create in reflection of the Creator.”

Supporting Innovation and Sustainable Growth

As Director of Operations, D’Aguilar will help ensure that the technology supporting these services is properly integrated into the company’s broader operations. This will include strengthening communication between customer service, design, production, logistics, installation, administration, and executive leadership.

He will also support the development of scalable processes that allow the company to grow without compromising quality, safety, accuracy, or the personal attention provided to each customer.

“Tafari’s appointment reflects our commitment to building an organization that is innovative, accountable, and prepared for long-term growth,” Dr. Roxborough added. “His ability to understand both the technical and creative sides of the business will help us continue transforming meaningful ideas into quality products and exceptional customer experiences.”
