As the newest member of the A-D Senior Management Team, Tony will be responsible for managing and running the A-D Electrical Supply Division in the U.S. and Canada.


Tony brings with him over 17 years of experience in the electrical industry working in both distribution and manufacturing. He was most recently Director, Distribution Sales for Universal Lighting Technologies (formerly Magnetek LPG). In that capacity, Tony was responsible for the creation, negotiation and management of programs designed to capture new business and increase market share. Prior to that, Tony held regional and account management positions with Magnetek where he worked closely with agents and distributors. For six years in the 1990's, Tony was a Field Engineer in New York for Appleton. He has also worked in varying capacities for three electrical distributors during his career.


"The ESD Division is going to benefit greatly from Tony's industry expertise and leadership," according to Jerry Lihota, C.E.O. of Rumsey Electric and a member of the ESD Executive Search Committee. "We are very impressed by his analytical skills and ムstreet smarts.' More importantly, he understands the needs and challenges of the independent distributor and his "win-win" approach to supplier relations will be a key factor in the continued success of our group."


Tony was born in London, grew up in Ireland and has a B.A. degree from University College Cork in the Republic of Ireland. He moved to the U.S. in 1985.
