Jonathan Lucas – Starting January 1st, Jonathan Lucas will report to Carolyn Brady. Additionally, Carolyn will take over project management of the new single phase UL924 unit and investigate plans for a modular UPS product. This will allow Derek Engeln more time to travel, assisting the sales team with lunch and learn presentations and large project opportunities.

Please introduce yourself and welcome Mariann when she starts on January 7th. She will spend the first week in Dayton getting acquainted with our products and sales support systems.

We look forward to continued growth in 2019!

Sincerely,
