USA - When Kelly Feild returned to Bandit Lites as the director of personnel, she referred to it as “coming home”, working alongside Bandit Lites vice-president of business and innovation, Jake Tickle.
Feild now serves as the second in command at the Bandit International Facility in Nashville. This continues the Bandit move into what the firm calls Gen8 at Bandit. “A new generation of young, talented people are taking the leadership positions to guide Bandit through the next 30 years,” said Bandit Lites chair and founder Michael T. Strickland. “Kelly and several other younger people are now in the critical roles at Bandit. They both follow the established Bandit Standards, but with a point of view and outlook for how to improve every day. The one constant is change, and Kelly is a big part of the Gen8 change at Bandit.”
“I started at Bandit with a business degree and almost no technical experience,” Feild said when hired back at Bandit full time. “Bandit taught me everything I needed to know to successfully tour as lighting tech. I know how to do the office part of my job, but I also understand what I am asking people to do when I schedule them on a tour.”
“Kelly has both the appetite and the ability to help take Bandit through the next 30 years and working at the highest level. I have met many times with Kelly, and you know at once she is extraordinarily capable,” finished Strickland.
