Sahal Laher on Monday was named senior vice president and chief digital and information officer of DXL, No. 280 in the Internet Retailer 2016 Top 500 Guide, with an Internet Retailer-estimated $87.9 million in online sales in 2015, according to Top500Guide.com data. The chief digital officer role is a new position and Laher will report to CEO David Levin.
