He will be responsible for leading the strategic business unit and for managing all aspects of the solid-state lighting business’ activities across applications, engineering, product development, operations, finance, marketing and sales.

“Peter brings a strong track record of success in the general lighting industry in both domestic and global markets,” says president & CEO Keith T. S.
