Lighting. “His exceptional track record and forward-thinking approach to business are precisely what
Sterling needs at this juncture. Tom’s ability to invigorate our sales strategies will play a crucial role in
our expansion efforts.”
Tom is known not just for his strategic acumen but also for his engaging personality, often infusing
the ‘Fenig humor’ into his professional interactions to make every business deal as enjoyable as it is
successful. “The one thing I can promise when I work with people is that no one ever falls asleep,”
says Tom, reflecting his dynamic approach to business and life.
This new role at Sterling Lighting marks another significant chapter in Tom’s professional journey,
reuniting him with long-time collaborator Patrick Harders. Together, they aim to extend Sterling
Lighting’s market reach and enhance the company’s reputation as an innovator in the outdoor lighting
industry.
