Ron Langley

Sales and distribution leader with 30+ years of experience selling technical products into industrial, commercial, utility, and construction markets, combining a decade as a sales engineer and distribution manager with GE, Square D, and Westinghouse with 25 years as an owner operator of two contracting firms. Managed a four state distribution territory for GE, negotiated multimillion dollar equipment contracts, and consistently exceeded annual quota by consulting directly with engineers, contractors, and plant managers. As a business owner, built revenue from zero across three service divisions, held full P&L accountability, and personally led every stage of the sales cycle from prospecting to close.

Now seeking to bring that combination of technical credibility, customer relationships, and hands on business ownership to a distribution, sales, or territory management role in the Southeast.
