LEDVANCE Names Matt McCarron VP Industrial Commercial Channel

September 17, 2016

As Vice President of Industrial Commercial Channel for the United States and Canada, Matt McCarron will fill the role held by Mark Corcoran, who retired this year but is acting as senior advisor for the trade channel over the coming months.

LEDVANCE is one of the world’s leading providers of lamps for professional users and retail customers offering SYLVANIA LED lamps as well as a wide range of traditional light sources, standardized luminaires and connected lighting solutions in North America.

Matt McCarron has been with OSRAM SYLVANIA for over 20 years. His career has been marked by progressive roles, management responsibility and sales achievement. Most recently, as Vice President of Retail Sales, McCarron successfully grew this important channel.

“Even though we are happy that Mark Corcoran is starting a new chapter in his life after his long and distinguished career, his leadership and experience will be greatly missed. We are fortunate to have a succession plan in place with Matt McCarron taking over this vital part of our business,” says Erol Kirilmaz, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of LEDVANCE. “Matt and Mark have worked together for several years, and given Matt’s knowledge of the business, the move made perfect sense.”

“The lighting industry, like our company, is transforming. I’ve met with many customers since taking over and have enjoyed discussing our strategic direction and their thoughts on how we work together in the future,” says McCarron. “Despite all the changes internally, I see these as largely transparent to our North American customers who can continue to count on our focus on service, quality and most importantly the SYLVANIA brand.”
