CEO/Founder
Candela Systems
Corporation:
A diverse
company headquartered in
Somers (with satellite offices
in Georgia and Puerto Rico)
that, since 1994, has provided
the latest technology in
energy conservation, energy
management, lighting and
electrical.
SECRET TO SUCCESS:
“Not
only is our philosophy to do the right
thing, but to make sure we do it with a
passion, to make every day better than
the day before – a cleaner and brighter
future for our children.”
WHY WESTCHESTER:
“It is
the heart of the world. We have access
to everything while maintaining the
intimacy of a small-town feel and the
diversity that nature has to offer.”
FIRST STEPS:
“We stepped up
to an opportunity by fulfilling the
needs of a new emerging industry, by
providing skilled, knowledgeable and
talented energy conservation
implementers.”
REWARDING MOMENT:
“Being known as the ‘doers’ of the
industry and always being called in
on very high-profile projects [such as
installing outside facade lighting for
the Empire State Building] because of
our work ethic.”
WHAT’S NEXT:
“With the
deployment of my patented wireless
lighting control (Artemis Automation’s
C-IT device), it is our goal to expand
Candela Systems to an international
electrical/lighting energy conservation
service company and grow our
employees from 45 to over 225 by
2015.”
