Elliot, just like his father, always had a passion for business. He joined the company right out of college and immediately got involved in sales. He would study each account and look for the white spaces and niche categories that would benefit both the customer and the company.
Within a short period of time Elliot involved himself in all aspects of the company. He understood that as much as sales were important, bringing value to his customers would be a crucial part of the company’s success. Elliot also understood that in today’s times not only do we need to be competitive but we also have to bring our retail partners great product at key price points. Elliot joined the sourcing team, traveling to many countries and working with key factories to initiate new innovative manufacturing procedures in order to cut costs without sacrificing quality. Value has always been the definitive word in his vocabulary.
Over the course of time he has also taken charge of the design team. He opened our China office to allow Fuzion to operate most efficiently, as well as 24/7. In 2020, Elliot was appointed President of Fuzion Creations, being fully in charge of the day to day operations. He meets frequently with the heads of each team always making sure that design, quality and value remain the focus of the company.
Elliot has been a volunteer EMT since 2005 . He responds to calls all hours of the evening and weekends helping thousands of people over the years.
Elliot, along with his sister and mother, sits on the board of the Douek Family Foundation. Incorporating the same thinking he brings to the jewelry business, he looks to establish innovative programs where he sees opportunity to make an impact in the community and society.
Elliot is married to a wonderful wife and has three wonderful children.
Nessi has been an integral part of Fuzion Creations since 2011. He has taken the E-Commerce division from a minor part of Fuzion's business to the success it is today. He not only enjoys designing the goods to be sold online, but his goal is to make each and every customer happy.
