I am part of the ECIA Executive Conference Core Committee, which has given me the chance to connect and exchange ideas with people from across the industry and the channel. Collaborating with the group, especially the veterans, has definitely broadened my perspective and offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping our industry.

What does your company do and what is your role in your company?
Dialight is a manufacturer of industrial LED lighting products as well as opto-electronic components such as circuit board indicators, panel mount indicators, LED optics, and light pipes. As Global Marketing Manager for the OE group at Dialight, I lead the marketing efforts for the LED indicator business. My focus is on developing strategies, content, and tools that connect our products to customer needs, driving growth through sales and channel support.

What stands out most in this industry is the supportive nature of the people I work with and interact with daily. It is also rewarding to know that even in a small way, I contribute to innovations that shape everything from everyday gadgets to advanced industrial systems.

What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, going to the beach, and reading a good thriller.

Are you currently binging any shows on Netflix, Hulu etc.?
Task on HBO is currently on my watch list. Otherwise, I usually head to the “30-Minute Laughs” section on Netflix to help the treadmill time go by faster.
