LEDtronics Employee Spotlight - Shannon Poh

By LEDtronics, Inc.

Shannon at Work

Shannon Poh, an inside sales supervisor and territory representative, has worked with LEDtronics for the past eleven years. When initially considering joining the LEDtronics team, Shannon was impressed with the company’s environmentally earth friendly mission statement. Since becoming part of the LEDtronics family Shannon has shared and promoted this mission.

In her capacity as an inside sales supervisor, Shannon is responsible for helping customers and co-workers determine the correct LED Lighting Product required for the requested application. This involves staying in constant communication with distributors and individual customers, staying current with the many different LED Lighting Products and applications, and ensuring superior customer care. Shannon also has many responsibilities as a territory representative. She manages all the quotes, processing, and customer contact for much of the international business ranging from Australia/New Zealand to Europe to Canada, and Asia, as well as eighteen of the United States.

Shannon is proud to be part of a company that furthers environmental responsibility. However, what Shannon finds most fulfilling is assisting customers, especially those who have been frustrated by lack of help elsewhere, to find the exact product for which they were searching. Shannon describes herself as straight to the point person, someone who likes to be busy, and likes to take charge by getting a handle on the job and getting it completed. She is happy being a part of the LEDtronics team where everyone works well together and co-workers are like an extended family. In the in the coming years, she looks forward to continuing to grow with the company and feels that if the company is succeeding, then she is as well.

Shannon at Home

Shannon was born in Monterey, CA and she enjoys creating experiences with her five-year-old son, Braydon. LEGOLAND is a particular favorite, but they also take frequent trips to Disneyland, SeaWorld, The Aquarium of the Pacific, and the LA Zoo.

They also have fun traveling to Northern California to spend time with family, and last summer they took a trip to Florida. Shannon loves showing Braydon as much of the world as possible and is committing to sharing new experiences with him. Shannon’s dream vacation is somewhere exotic and tropical, like Bora Bora, where she can have a cabana that opens right onto a pristine beach. Shannon and Braydon also share a great love of nature and animals. They have a dog, cats, and fish at home, and love going outside to explore the natural world. In addition to being a great mother, Shannon also enjoys bowling with her league, going to dinner with friends, and being social with the people in her life.

Shannon is a valued member of the LEDtronics family, and much of her personality can be understood through her personal life motto, “Ignore the negative and explore the positive.”
