Momentum Continues at Solais Lighting with Appointment of Danielle Myers as Vice President of Commercial Sales – West

Industry sales leader joins expanding commercial organization, as Solais continues investing in the future of architectural lighting.

Frisco, TX — Today, Solais Lighting announces the appointment of Danielle Myers as Vice President of Commercial Sales – West.

Myers joins Solais after over 15 years in the architectural lighting industry, where she has built a reputation as one of the most respected commercial sales leaders in the western U.S. Throughout her career, she has worked alongside lighting designers, architects, contractors, and manufacturers' representatives, cultivating lasting relationships, to develop lasting partnerships and help grow some of the industry's most recognized brands.

For Solais, the addition of Myers marks another significant step in the company's evolution.

As Solais continues its mission to expand its product portfolio, they are investing in the experienced commercial leadership needed to support its growing network of representatives, designers, and customers. Following the recent appointment of Chief Commercial Officer Al Near, Myers becomes the latest addition to an executive team focused on strengthening Solais' presence across North America and reinforcing its long-term commitment to the architectural lighting market.

"Danielle has earned tremendous respect throughout our industry—not just because of what she's accomplished, but because of how she goes about it," said Sam Newberry, President and CEO of Solais Lighting. "She builds trust, develops lasting relationships, and genuinely cares about the success of her customers and agency partners, aligning with our own values. We're excited she saw something in Solais that made this the right next chapter in her career, and we're looking forward to what we'll build together."

In her new role as Vice President of Commercial Sales – West, Myers will report to Chief Commercial Officer Al Near and lead commercial sales throughout the western United States. She will work closely with Solais' network of independent sales agencies and customers to support continued growth while strengthening relationships throughout the specification community.

"There comes a point in your career where you're looking for more than a new role—you're looking for the right team," said Danielle Myers, Vice President of Commercial Sales – West. "The more I learned about Solais, the more I wanted to be part of where the company is headed. I'm excited to work alongside Al and the entire team as we continue building something special."

Near believes Myers' addition reflects both the momentum Solais has built and the culture the company is intentionally creating.

"Danielle has spent her career earning the confidence of customers and representatives by showing up, following through, and building real relationships," said Al Near, Chief Commercial Officer. "Those qualities matter just as much as experience. She's a natural fit for our team, and I know our agency partners and customers throughout the West are going to enjoy working with her."

For Solais, Myers' appointment is about more than adding another experienced leader. It reflects the company's continued investment in people, partnerships, and the long-term growth of its commercial organization as it builds the next chapter of the Solais brand.
