Legendary multi-generational Nashville showroom Hermitage Design Center<\/a> (formerly Hermitage Lighting Gallery), has announced a key leadership transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After serving for several decades as president & CEO of the lighting, appliances, and hardware retailer, Jack Fleischer will transition into the position of president and hand the CEO reins to Jerry Guiliano, an executive with 30+ years of leadership at such consumer-facing product companies as Remington, Wrangler, Walls Outdoor Goods, and Coleman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleischer \u2013 who earned a Certified Lighting Consultant designation from the American Lighting Association (ALA<\/a>) and was named a Pillar of the Industry \u00a0\u2013has played a pivotal role in growing Hermitage Design Center and Hermitage Lighting National Accounts into two of the most respected entities in the industry. Under his guidance, the organization has expanded its footprint, deepened relationships with hospitality and residential partners, and modernized its approach to design, distribution, and customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m honored to step into the role of CEO at Hermitage,\u201d said Guiliano. \u201cJack has built an exceptional company rooted in quality, integrity, and service. I\u2019m excited to work alongside the talented team at Hermitage to continue that legacy and drive future growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added Fleischer, \u201cThis is an exciting moment for our company. I believe deeply in Hermitage\u2019s mission and people, and I\u2019m confident Jerry\u2019s leadership will take us even further. As president, I look forward to continuing to serve the company\u2019s strategic vision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this transition, Hermitage reaffirms its commitment to innovation, excellence, and the personalized service that has defined its 80-year legacy in the lighting and home improvement sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
