The Barbizon Lighting Company is pleased to announce these
employee promotions and additions.
In Orlando, Kelsey Renfro
has been promoted to Outside Sales Representative. Since joining in 2015, Kelsey has been an
essential part of the growth in the Central and North Florida region for
Barbizon Lighting. Initially hired as an Account Coordinator for our Themed
Entertainment Markets, Kelsey quickly grew into a formidable Sales Associate
and developed her own customer base. In her new role as Outside Sales
Representative, Kelsey will oversee some of Barbizon’s most important accounts.
“From the moment Kelsey joined Barbizon we knew she would excel in
her role and become an asset on the front lines of our Central and North
Florida sales initiatives,” says Jaison O’Connor, Sales Manager for Barbizon
Lighting Florida, “and has such, earned the trust and respect of some of the
most prestigious accounts in the industry. Her new role as Outside Sales
Representative allows her to be even more effective in the growth of these
accounts and focus further on the Themed Entertainment Markets that she has
been working with over the last few years.”
Also in Orlando, Bob Whittaker joins the operation
as Branch Manager and Technical Services Administrator. Bob comes to Barbizon from the Mattie Kelly
Arts Center, where he had been serving as the facilities Technical Director for
22 years. Bob will be overseeing the daily Orlando Branch operations,
while also supervising the ever-expanding services division in providing
repairs, programming, and upgrade needs.
“Bob brings an enormous amount of history and
industry knowledge to Barbizon Lighting” says Nicholas Cohen, General Manager
for Barbizon Lighting Florida, “his passion for ensuring customer satisfaction
at the highest level of work matches the Barbizon legacy. “after 30 years as an
end-user for lighting products, I am proud to join the Barbizon family.” said
Bob Whittaker.
In Atlanta, we welcome Joshua Fisher to our Systems
Integration team. Joshua brings
a depth of architectural and theatrical systems knowledge from his work in the design, installation, and
commissioning of control systems from small to very large including museums,
churches, schools, casinos, and broadcast studios.
“Barbizon is fortunate to have Joshua’s understanding
of entertainment systems as his career has spanned the gamut from
cocktail-napkin designing with clients, translating that into construction
drawing and even being in the field terminating connections,” said Systems
Sales and Integration Director Jeff Siegel.
