Legrand, the global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures, announces that John Selldorff is retiring at the end of February 2024 after leading Legrand, North & Central America (LNCA) for 22 years as President and CEO.
Brian DiBella, current President of the Data, Power & Control division of LNCA, will step into the role March 1, 2024.
“I would like to express my thanks and congratulations to John Selldorff who built Legrand’s North & Central America business from a $600 million small manufacturer of switches and sockets, at the time of his appointment, to a leader in electrical and digital building infrastructures, including Cable Management, Data Centers, Audio Visual, Building Controls, and Lighting,” says Benoît Coquart, CEO of Legrand.
“LNCA has grown to approximately $4 billion and represents around 40% of the Group’s global revenue today. John also significantly contributed to the Group’s development, being the longest-serving member of the Executive Committee,” he notes.
