Luminus appoints VP of marketing

Luminus Devices Inc of Woburn, MA and Sunnyvale, CA, USA, which makes LEDs and solid-state light sources, has appointed Mark Pugh as VP of marketing. His solid--state lighting (SSL) experience adds new depth and market knowledge to the executive management team, says the firm.

Before joining Luminus, Pugh co-founded Xicato in July 2007 and was instrumental in creating the 'LED Module' category for the SSL industry, Luminus says. Over the last 7 years, he developed the product and business strategy establishing Xicato's dominant position in the critical lighting designer and specification market.

Prior to Xicato, Pugh was a founding member of the Lumileds joint venture (JV) between Hewlett Packard and Philips. Based in The Netherlands, he was responsible for manufacturing and marketing, and established and cultivated global partnerships, channels and developed new markets. Pugh later became the VP of business development and strategic marketing as the JV expanded in 1999, starting new businesses for Lumileds such as LED backlighting for televisions and displays.

"Luminus offers the market a never-before-seen portfolio of solutions aimed at multiple market segments, from high-volume consumer and commercial applications like retrofit lamps and general illumination fixtures to high-value specialty lighting applications in medical, entertainment and projection displays," says Pugh.

Pugh will be attending the Strategies in Light event in Las Vegas, NV, USA (24-26 February), where Luminus is exhibiting in booth # 457.
