In addition to re-branding the company, Above All Lighting’s board of directors announced other changes to the management team.
Guy Esposito, who has worked for more than 35 years in the lighting & electrical distribution industry, has been promoted to president of the company after serving as V.P. of sales since the company's inception. Esposito spent more than three years with Fulham before joining ABB Lighting in June 2015. Responsible for the Energy Solutions Channel at Fulham, Esposito created a new sales channel for the commercial and industrial energy efficiency market and experienced double-digit growth every year he was there.
Concurrently, Hector Gannon has been elevated to V.P. of sales after serving as director of national accounts. That position will now be filled by Paul Schooley, who was the company's Eastern Region sales manager.

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.
