After combining its utilities and electrical lines of business about a year ago, HD Supply, Atlanta, has now renamed the combined business unit HD Supply Power Solutions. According to a letter sent out to HD Supply vendors and customers by Rick McClure, president, HD Supply Power Solutions and Steve Margolius, the company's COO, HD Supply Power Solutions is organizing its U.S. sales force into three geographic regions. Each geographic region will be led by a vice president reporting to Rick McClure and will be supported by the sourcing organization. Within each of the three U.S. regions, we will have four vertical markets: investor-owned utilities (IOU), public power, industrial and construction.

The executives that will manage each of these regions and businesses within those regions are as follows: East-Rob Joseph, with Joe D'Orazio (IOU); Mark Sommers (Public Power); Cliff Kemp (Industrial): and Lester Jenkins (Construction): North-Tim Mills, with Bill Goebes (IOU); and Mark Wojcil (Public Power); South- Jason Herin, with Alan Morris (IOU); Jason Irons (Public Power): Tim Klei (Construction and interim for Industrial); and Gary Walker for Canada.

Jim Lucy has been wandering through the electrical market for more than 30 years, most of the time as an editor for Electrical Wholesaling, Electrical Marketing newsletter and CEE News. During that time he and the editorial team for the publications have won numerous national awards for their coverage of the electrical business. He showed an early interest in electricity, when as a youth he had an idea for a hot dog cooker. Unfortunately, the first crude prototype malfunctioned and the arc nearly blew him out of his parents' basement. Before becoming an editor for Electrical Wholesaling magazine and Electrical Marketing, he earned a BA degree in journalism and a MA in communications from Glassboro State College, Glassboro, NJ., which is formerly best known as the site of the 1967 summit meeting between President Lyndon Johnson and Russian Premier Aleksei Nikolayevich Kosygin, and now best known as the New Jersey state college that changed its name in 1992 to Rowan University because of a generous $100 million donation by N.J. zillionaire industrialist Henry Rowan. Jim is a Brooklyn-born Jersey Guy happily transplanted in the fertile plains of Kansas for the past 20 years.
