Tuesday Morning Names New CEO

Dallas-based retailer Tuesday Morning Corp., a chain of 750 stores that sell closeout gifts and home merchandise, has named Steven R. Becker, 49, chief executive officer. Becker gained control of the deep discount chain’s board in June 2012 when Dallas hedge fund Becker Drapkin Management L.P. first disclosed a 5 percent state in the company. CEO Kathleen Mason was soon ousted after Becker Drapkin bought more stock and gained seats on the board.
