Premium decorative and architectural lighting distributor with designer partnerships
Visual Comfort & Co. distributes high-end lighting fixtures and ceiling fans through a designer-centric go-to-market. The tech stack reflects a traditional enterprise retail operation—Salesforce, SAP, Dynamics 365, Power BI—with no cloud-native or AI adoptions underway. Hiring is heavily sales-focused (118 of 184 roles) across regional and channel strategies, paired with construction and project management functions, signaling a B2B wholesale-to-contractor model. Pain points cluster around global expansion, delivery execution, and capturing growth in new geographies.
Notable leadership hires: Director of Sales, Sales Director, Construction Project Director, Project Director
