Inner Circle Distribution announced today that Ole Kaack has been appointed as the new CEO of the growing distribution company. A seasoned international business leader with a career stretching back a quarter of a century, Kaack assumes responsibilities May 9, 2022.
Kaack brings a wealth of experience to the new role. His resumé boasts a key position at international lighting distributor Martin Professional as Finance and Service Director for the United States. Following an earlier stint with Viking Equipment, Kaack also served as Senior Finance Director of the company for 10 years.
Kaack has known Managing Partner Noel Duncan since their time at Martin Professional, where the two worked together for several years. After reconnecting with Kaack, “It quickly became clear that he was the right fit,” Duncan says. “We’ve been envisioning this step for years, and I feel confident that Ole will take us to the next level in our business.”
The hire is expected to allow Inner Circle’s managing partners to spend more time seeking out additional markets for emerging product lines, enabling the firm to better fulfill its mission: to bring the world’s most creative and innovative lighting solutions to its ever-expanding network of customers.
Gary Mass, Managing Partner, is excited for Ole’s appointment. “Ole’s previous experience working for large multi-national manufacturing and distribution companies, his drive, and his passion for success make him the right person to lead ICD,” he says.
“We expect this to be a major milestone in the growth of the company,” says Craig Singer, Marketing Director and Managing Partner. “By bringing in someone of Ole’s caliber and strong financial background, we’ve laid out our vision for this next phase of Inner Circle’s expansion.”
“It is great to be back in the lighting industry again,” says Kaack. “I am very excited to join ICD and use my experience in developing strategies and organizations for further growth. The product portfolio is amazing, and ICD has a bright future ahead.”
