Leviton, a company that offers electrical, lighting and networking solutions, today announced the appointment of Shady Youssef as managing director, Leviton Middle East (LME). 

 

Youssef started the new position beginning of this month replacing Aldo Strawbridge who will be retiring effective December 31.

 

Leviton Middle East was established in 2008, focusing on networking and energy management solutions. With the acquisition of LED lighting company JCC based in the UK, the Middle East team quickly established a presence in the lighting market. 

 

Youssef is expected to continue to build and expand our business driving the best solutions and service to our customers, said a statement. 

 

“We are excited to have Shady’s leadership to further build and develop the Leviton Middle East team,” said Bruno Filio, Leviton vice president of international sales. “With over 12 years of professional experience in the Middle East in network solutions and data centres for major industrial and commercial projects, we look forward to having Shady’s expertise and leadership to continue to drive overall growth and success for Leviton Middle East.” 

 

Youssef’s previous role as LME’s regional business development manager has been instrumental in growing and developing the Leviton brand, creating awareness and delivering strategic transformation across the regions of Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt in the Middle East. - TradeArabia News Service
