L.A. Gear’s Gold Announces Goals: Stanley P. Gold, who replaced Robert Greenberg as chairman of L.A. Gear, will focus his attention on the troubled athletic shoe maker’s financial structure. “My job will be to build the financial platform upon which Mark Goldston, our new president and chief executive, can utilize his expertise to rationalize and improve the product mix, improve the quality of our products and broaden our customer base,” Gold said in a statement. Gold is the general partner of Trefoil Capital Investors, which owns 34% of L.A. Gear.
