FUTURE LEADERS CHRIS BAILEY HUBBELL LIGHTING BRADENTON, FL CAREER CAPSULE • LEED AP • Previously vice president of sales, Beacon Products • Leader, Hubbell’s Solar Technology Initiative Plenty of people prognosticate on tomorrow’s lighting technologies. Chris Bailey does them one better by looking out to the day after tomorrow, if you will. Really, who else is talking about “quantum dots” (Store that one away in your memory for future reference.) As the newly appointed technical strategist for the Hubbell Solid-State Lighting Team, Bailey is responsible for researching the latest SSL technologies available today (e.g., LED and plasma) and others which may soon be viable. He evaluates the impact each type of technology may have on individual market segments, categories and Hubbell brands, and will help educate the marketplace by co-developing curriculum used at Hubbell’s Lighting Solutions Center. And for those stumped by the quantum dot, it’s a nano-carbon crystal (somewhere in the vicinity of one-billionth of a meter in size) that can replace the phosphor coating in white LEDs, potentially making LEDs 50 percent more efficient than they are today. A FEW KIND WORDS: “Chris is an articulate lighting evangelist with charisma who will ascend to higher levels of leadership in our industry and deserves to,” says Mark Lien of Hubbell Lighting. “Every company needs people who are forward thinkers, others who are great communicators and some disciplined enough to consistently do the parts of the job that most of us consider the hard work. Because Chris excels at all three skills he is destined for a long successful career in lighting.” DOWN THE ROAD: The possibilities are endless in terms of new product development, says Bailey. “The light bulb has just been reinvented. Never before has there been as much ‘energy’ dedicated to the advancement of SSL and other energy-saving technologies. Our industry finally has the chance to innovate in a way that could truly reshape the future of lighting. To be even a small part of that is extremely exciting.” Paul Tarricone ‘I have been involved in several LED luminaire designs and as a result have filed for several valuable patents. Knowing these designs have become real products—and solutions to real problems—gives me what I want most, which is to make a difference’ 58 www.ies.org
FUTURE LEADERS Whether it’s serving as the Illumination Awards Committee chair for her local IES section, taking on the role of treasurer for the Society of Women Engineers or authoring articles for her firm’s in-house publications, Chrysanthi Stockwell is what you would call “a joiner.” She’s even working to polish her rhetorical skills as a member of the worldwide educational group, Toastmasters International. “Toastmasters is an opportunity to improve my public-speaking skills and network with others in the engineering group,” says Stockwell. “Besides the chance to speak in front of my colleagues, I have also learned to conduct efficient meetings, answer questions impromptu and give constructive evaluations. I like Toastmasters because it really applies to many aspects of our industry, such as interviewing, marketing and client interaction.” But Stockwell doesn’t just talk the talk. She has also demonstrated her engineering and design expertise on a range of projects since graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2007. Working for a major industry player such as HGA has provided Stockwell ample opportunity to show her technical chops. “It’s given me the opportunity to work on many projects types throughout the country and across the different offices.” That variety of project types has cut across the healthcare, corporate, arts and education sectors, and, in some cases, Stockwell has also taken on project management duties. “The Owatonna Replacement Hospital and Clinic was my first project that I was in charge of from beginning to end. I learned a lot about healthcare lighting on this project. I also learned the importance of lighting details and architectural coordination.” The diversity within the industry, itself, also appeals to Stockwell. “The lighting industry is a melting pot of people from all different backgrounds. Everyone has a story about where they came from and how they got into lighting,” she says. “It’s very rare to find people who have a taste for design, but at the same time love the intricacies of calculation and technology. That is one of the most appealing things about our industry; lighting touches so many aspects of life, from psychology to design to engineering.” A FEW KIND WORDS: “In spite of her relative newness to the lighting industry, Chrysanthi has a great understanding of what lighting can bring to a project. She understands how to integrate with other disciplines and designers to create a cohesive project design. She has shown the ability to work with clients, understand their needs and educate when necessary,” says HGA’s Pat Hunt. DOWN THE ROAD: Broader project experience is the short-term goal for Stockwell. “I especially have an interest in learning more about cultural arts projects and would love to gain more lighting experience in that area. Eventually, I would like to be involved in project marketing and advocating lighting design as an integral part of full architectural services.” Paul Tarricone CHRYSANTHI STOCKWELL HAMMEL, GREEN AND ABRAHAMSON MINNEAPOLIS, MN CAREER CAPSULE • LC; LEED AP • 2009 IES Young Professionals Scholarship; Mutual of Omaha IST&E Scholarship; Litecontrol Scholarship; Robert J. Besal Scholarship • Key projects: Douglas County Hospital, Alexandria, MN; General Mills Photo Studio, Golden Valley, MN ‘It is scary doing your first project as the lead lighting designer. When you see it all come together, there is a moment that makes it all worth it and inspires you to do it again’ LD+A December 2010 59
