An exciting new phase for CoolLED as we welcome Jake to the team
CoolLED, a leading innovator in cutting-edge LED illumination technology, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Jake Davies as the company’s new Managing Director.
Jake will be taking the reins from Jim Beacher, who has retired after a long and successful career with CoolLED.
Since 2016, CoolLED has become a global leader in providing state-of-the-art LED microscope illuminator technology for scientific and industrial applications. Jake is well-prepared to lead CoolLED into its next phase of growth and innovation, bringing a wealth of experience and a strong track record of leadership in technology and engineering.
He holds a Masters degree in Engineering Science from Oxford, a PhD from Imperial College London, and an MBA from the Open University.
Since completing his PhD, Jake has spent his career contributing to both the creation of products and global markets for niche business-to-business hi-technology solutions. He joins CoolLED from Emerson, where he was Global Product Marketing Director for Corrosion and Erosion products.
He joined Emerson in 2016 upon their acquisition of Permasense Limited, a specialist pipeline corrosion monitoring company, for which Jake was the first employee, and was instrumental in its growth from start-up to revenues of over $20 million.
Jake commented on his appointment, saying, “I am honoured and excited to lead CoolLED into the future. We have a remarkable team of dedicated professionals and a strong commitment to innovation, sustainability, and customer satisfaction. I look forward to building on our success and driving the company to new heights.”
“We are excited to welcome Jake to the team as Managing Director. Jake’s impressive leadership & new product development skills will enable us to achieve our ambitious growth plans,” said Louise Hedges, CoolLED’s Sales & Marketing Director.
CoolLED is confident that Jake’s leadership will continue to propel the company’s growth and success as it continues to delight its existing markets and explores new opportunities for industry-leading LED Illumination Systems.
CoolLED is a UK-based global innovator in LED technology for microscopy illumination,
providing cutting-edge solutions for various applications for the life sciences and beyond.
