Yanow Inc., Brockton, MA, promoted Eric DeMaio to partner. In this new role, he will take on expanded leadership responsibilities, guiding the company’s strategic direction, positioning and growth. DeMaio has been with Yanow for 13 years and will continue his current position as sales manager.
“He does whatever it takes, without hesitation,” said Randy Pinkofsky, president, in the press release. “When Eric and I first met 13 years ago, our initial conversation centered on his long-term goals. He was clear about his aims. Keep in mind, I’m talking with a 24-year-old. We both thought his career path could lead him to someday become a principal. Eric has many admirable qualities, but I especially value his sense of personal responsibility (plus, his charisma is a bonus). Rarely have I met a young man who truly embodies an ‘old soul.’ I am confident he will approach this new chapter with the same qualities that made him a key asset to our firm.”
Yanow serves the electrical and energy construction markets in the six New England states and upstate New York since 1948.

Tim Klinger has been promoted to COO and Bert Davey will assume the role of executive VP of JL Carr Enterprises, the parent company of JD Martin (JDM), Houston, TX.
In his expanded role, Klinger will work with the JDM operating companies to support their local growth opportunities through the integration of the JDM operating, proprietary sales intelligence, marketing and people development systems.
 JD Martin said in the press release that the appointment reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to intentional growth, operational excellence and building long-term relationships with our industry partners.
As the electrification movement evolves, JD Martin said it’s positioned to respond to new market growth opportunities. JD Martin President and CEO Greg Baker said in the press release, “As JD Martin continues to grow and evolve, it’s critical that we align our leadership with the opportunities ahead. Tim and Bert bring the experience, discipline and vision needed to support our operating companies, strengthen our partnerships, and execute on our long-term growth strategy.”
