Ted Konnerth Joins Merrimack Group as Managing Director
Merrimack, NH, July 23, 2020 - Ted Konnerth, PhD has recently joined Merrimack Group as Managing Director to assist electrical industry companies with mergers, acquisitions and investment capital.
Ted has more than 35 years of industry experience, including five years as Global VP of Sales at Cooper Lighting. He subsequently founded Egret Consulting Group, which grew into the largest executive search firm dedicated to the electrical industry, amassing a database of 120,000 industry executives across 12,000 companies. Egret serves manufacturers, distributors and lighting design firms. Ted sold Egret Consulting Group to Brooke Ziolo in 2019 and has remained as an individual contributor to the business focused solely on C-level retained search.

Aligning with Merrimack provides me with the professional support and bandwidth to directly assist them as they determine how to exit their businesses. Merrimack now offers a unique solution for our industry; deep industry expertise, absolute confidentiality and the ability to devise the optimum exit strategy given the complexities of our industry.”
