"Toby has been a key part of our company from its earliest days," said Davies. "He's demonstrated extraordinary talent and leadership qualities in every job he's done, and his passion for excellence is second to none. Based on his abilities and track record, I'm extremely confident that he's the right person to lead ADJ, Elation and Acclaim Lighting into the future."
In recent years, Velazquez has shepherded the development of many of ADJ's breakthrough products, including its LED fixtures, LED video panels and the industry's first moving heads to use Philips' Platinum MSR lamps. He is looking forward to building on these achievements in the future.
"Our company has been built on innovation," said Velazquez. "We've made it our mission to get to know our customers, understand their needs and create new affordable, user-friendly products that contribute to their success. This will continue to be our guiding philosophy, and we'll continue to look for new ways to make us even better at implementing it. I welcome this opportunity, and I'm thankful to be surrounded by such a dedicated group of talented co-workers. "
