Agostino Renna (pictured) has been named president and CEO of GE Lighting Europe, Middle East & Africa with immediate effect.
Renna, who will report to GE Lighting President and CEO Maryrose Sylvester, succeeds Phil Marshall, who had led GE Lighting Europe, Middle East and Africa since 2008. Marshall has left GE Lighting to pursue a position outside the company.
“Agostino Renna’s experience, leadership and significant sales and marketing background make him an outstanding person to continue the transformation of the lighting business in the region,” said Sylvester.
“Agostino has demonstrated outstanding management qualities and has the ability to sharpen our strategic focus to lead GE Lighting Europe, Middle East and Africa to achieve strong, sustained growth in 2013 and beyond,” she added.
Renna most recently was Vice President, Growth and Market Strategy for GE-Canada, with responsibility for long-term growth and market positioning of all GE’s businesses in Canada.
