MEET YOUR HOME DEPOT PRO

NATIONAL ACCOUNT MANAGER!

Hello IEC!!! My name is Lindsey Hill, and I am your Home Depot Pro National Account Manager. I am technically based out of Atlanta, GA, but I often travel the country to work with Individual Customers, your Local Chapters, and your National Staff. My primary role is to find ways to strengthen The Home Depot partnership with IEC, thereby driving additional revenue to the IEC Foundation to support the Electrical Trade overall.

On a more personal note, I spent the first 18 years of my life in South GA, where I cultivated a pretty strong southern accent. I spent the next 20 years in various parts of Florida, with the most recent 13 years in Jacksonville. I relocated to the Atlanta area in 2019 to once again be closer to family. I’ve been serving our Contractor market since 2010 (including electricians), and I can’t imagine doing anything else!!! When I’m not working, I love spending time with my 2 dogs (a 4-year-old Doberman and 3-year-old Morkie).
