Barbizon names Tom Madden as president
- Details
Madden has a proven track record of success at Barbizon Lighting’s Mid-Atlantic operation as the general manager of Barbizon’s Capitol location. His previous experience includes leadership on an international level in roles ranging from stage and production manager to senior general manager & executive vice president.
“Tom recognises and deeply values the Barbizon culture, something which initially drew him to the company and which he feels strongly about honouring and fostering,” read a statement from the Board of Directors. Madden’s appointment comes after Barbizon Lighting Company’s previous president and CEO, Jonathan Resnick, unexpectedly passed away. “It’s among the many reasons Jonathan thought the world of Tom and we are sure he would agree with our carefully considered choice.”
"I’m honoured, and I’m thankful to the Board for the opportunity to lead this extraordinary organization of creative, dedicated, and talented professionals,” remarked Tom Madden. “We provide innovative lighting and technology solutions, every day, with a world-class team of employees. This role is a tremendous opportunity that any leader would welcome.”
Barbizon Lighting’s customers range from theatres to film & television studios; from houses of worship to architectural projects; and from museum & themed environments to complicated rigging systems.
Madden further added, “Jonathan Resnick’s legacy is all around us: an incredible team that embodies his spirit, his work ethic, and his dedication to each of our customers. I am honoured to carry this legacy forward.”
