Lori Mutobaya: Women Are Highly Valued At Clive Daniel Home

When Clive Daniel Home’s Daniel Lubner and his father, Clive, decided to expand their presence in Florida more than two years ago, they called Lori Mutobaya. Her more than 25 years in retail sales, as well as her longstanding relationship with the father-son design team, made her the perfect choice.

Mutobaya was working in New York at Stuckley Audi & Co. when she received the offer to run the Boca Raton location. Upon accepting the offer to be the Boca Raton store’s general manager, Mutobaya oversaw every detail of the 70,000-square-foot, $12 million location as it emerged from the ground. Today, as general manager, she oversees Clive Daniel Home’s 65 employees.

In fact, one of the reasons she came back to work for Clive Daniel Home and the Lubner family is because of the high regard they place on women.

“They value the women’s perspective, our work ethic and what we bring to the table, and they always have. That’s why I work for them,” Mutobaya says.

“I have hired every person in the store and work with each of them every day,” she says. “I have an awesome team of designers and support staff, beyond anyone I have ever worked with.”

Visitors will find furnishings, bedding, linens, rugs, window treatments, flooring, lighting, artwork, accessories and a team of designers who can help put it all together.

“Each week, we bring in new furniture, we put up new wallpaper, we change the color of the walls – all in an effort to provide our clients with an environment that inspires creativity,” Mutobaya says. “It is there to inspire rather than dictate to you, and it works like a dream.”

“I do this for a living because of the designers. They are the most creative and intelligent people,” Mutobaya says.

Clive Daniel Home’s original 87,000-square-foot location, which also serves as its corporate headquarters, opened in 2011 in Naples. Together, the stores offer clients a one-stop-shopping experience – from fine furnishings to complete renovations. No two weeks are ever the same, as the showroom look continually evolves.  In keeping its showroom at the highest echelon, Clive Daniel Home has recently added an interactive technological factor: virtual and augmented reality programs.  Stay tuned for more!

Clive Daniel Home is located at 1351 N.W. Boca Raton Blvd., Boca Raton. For more information, call 561-440-4663 or visit clivedaniel.com.
