Many industry veterans remember Jack Briody. Jack was with Philips until 1991, had a brief stint at MagneTek (now Universal Lighting Technologies), and finished his career at Advance Transformer in 2001. He was the original “energy efficiency” leader and was chairman of the Energy Cost Savings Cost. Jack was an visionary and a marketing strategist, always striving to pull together lamp, ballast, fixture and other lighting companies into broader initiatives.
Advance Transformer has posted a tribute to Jack.
Jack passed away this past weekend, succumbing to complications from cancer.
