Current Illuminates Its Future: Welcoming Shannon Thomas as Vice President of Marketing
Hold onto your hats, folks, because Current just made a major power move in the lighting industry! Get ready to welcome Shannon Thomas, the company’s freshly minted Vice President of Marketing. With Shannon at the helm, Current is poised for some seriously bright times ahead (pun intended, of course!). Her arrival signals a strategic shift, one that underscores Current’s dedication to not just keeping pace with the evolving world of lighting, but to leading the charge.
A Marketing Maven with a Luminous Career
Shannon Thomas isn’t just stepping into the light; she’s bringing over two decades of product and brand leadership to brighten up the place. This isn’t some random career detour, people. This is a seasoned pro with a resume that screams “I turn brands into shining stars.”
From Faucets to Footlights: A Journey of Success
Shannon’s journey began at Moen, the brand that’s practically synonymous with fabulous faucets. But she wasn’t just fetching coffee and making copies (not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course). Oh no, she dove headfirst into the world of plumbing, conducting market research and developing products that probably grace your Pinterest board right now. And get this – she didn’t just stop at creation; she crafted those killer go-to-market strategies that landed those products on shelves (both physical and digital) and, more importantly, in our homes.
But Shannon’s story doesn’t end with perfectly flowing water pressure. This marketing maven took her talents to industry giants like Newell Rubbermaid, Electrolux, Hunter Douglas, and Britax. Talk about a diverse portfolio! Each stop added another layer of expertise, refining her ability to not only lead high-performing marketing teams but to transform consumer desires into market-dominating realities.
A Leader’s Welcome: Chip Taylor Shines a Light on Shannon’s Arrival
Chip Taylor, Current’s very own Chief Commercial Officer, is absolutely stoked to welcome Shannon to the team. “Shannon’s background in bringing game-changing products to market is exactly what Current needs as we step into this exciting new chapter,” he shared. “Her fresh perspective on the lighting industry, coupled with her ability to build deep connections with customers, makes her the absolute perfect fit to lead Current’s marketing efforts.”
See, Chip gets it. He sees the magic that happens when you combine a deep understanding of how to launch successful products with a genuine passion for connecting with customers. And that’s exactly what Shannon brings to the table, a recipe for success that’s sure to make Current shine even brighter.
Beyond the Boardroom: Shannon’s Off-Duty Glow Up
Now, before you think Shannon is all work and no play, let’s dim the office lights for a moment and get a glimpse into her life outside the boardroom. When she’s not busy illuminating the path for Current, you can find her cheering on her favorite soccer team or rooting for her beloved Clemson Tigers during college football season. Go Tigers!
But Shannon’s idea of a perfect weekend doesn’t stop at touchdowns and penalty kicks. This marketing guru also knows how to unwind with a good book and a serious case of wanderlust. Basically, she’s the epitome of “work hard, play hard,” a philosophy she shares with her husband, Brad, and their two kids, Ellie (a rising junior at UNC – Tar Heels!) and Brody (who’s about to conquer those high school hallways as a sophomore).
