Altman Lighting announces that Julie Smith has joined the Altman team in the role of general manager. Smith will work from the Altman Lighting headquarters in Yonkers, New York to oversee all facets on the company's daily operations.

Altman Lighting president/CEO Robert Altman offers, "We at Altman are very proud and excited to have Julie Smith join our team. Her hard work ethic, discipline, and determined demeanor make her a great leader and simply put Julie knows how to get things done. With some of our great employees that have been here for decades, and the talented new team we are developing, you can expect great things to come out of Altman, because we expect nothing less of ourselves. Technology has changed. But one thing has NOT changed since my parents, Olga and Charlie, and my brother Ronnie started the business in 1953 and that is we want to help people succeed. I consider working with Julie my privilege."

Regarding her new role Smith added, "For over 60 years, Altman Lighting has been a wonderful example of how a company can provide innovative and affordable lighting solutions while still maintaining its foundation of quality and support. They have a truly innovative product range, a great group of talented people, and are committed to giving back to the industry and community. When speaking with Robert about the opportunity to join Altman Lighting, it was all of these elements that continued to resonate with me and I am very excited to now be a part of the Altman Lighting team."

Prior to joining Altman Lighting Smith was with Philips Entertainment serving as commercial manager/global support director of Strand-Selecon-Varilite.
