MELVILLE, NY \u2013 Leviton announced the promotion of Brian Sorensen to Vice President
of US Sales, Network Solutions, with an effective start date of September 1, 2023. Sorensen will
assume the role from Brad Leland who will retire on January 2, 2024.
\u201cSince joining Leviton more than 17 years ago, Brian has played a key role in our
company\u2019s growth and industry relationships,” said Daryoush Larizadeh, Leviton President and
CEO. \u201cBrian brings a deep understanding of the Leviton business, and we are excited that he will
lead our network solutions sales organization. We are grateful for Brad\u2019s contributions over the
past 16 years in developing and leading our network solutions sales team and wish him the best
in his retirement.\u201d
Since beginning his career as a national account manager at Leviton in 2006, Sorensen
supported global relationships across diverse geographies, meeting strategic objectives to support
value added distribution. In his new role, Sorensen will leverage his relationship skills to help
Leviton capitalize on technology convergence and globalization.
\u201cWe are thrilled to have Brian step into this role with his leadership qualities and strong
relationship skills,\u201d said Randy Mortensen, Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing at
Leviton. \u201cDuring his time at Leviton, Brian has been responsible for managing relationships with
some of Leviton\u2019s largest partners. He consistently exceeds plan objectives, while providing
profitable growth for Leviton\u2019s partners.\u201d
\u201cI have had the honor of working with Brad for several years, and he has been
instrumental in developing and leading our network solutions sales team in that time,\u201d said
Mortensen. \u201cPrior to his retirement in January, Brad will closely partner with Brian to ensure a
seamless and successful transition for our customers at Leviton.\u201d
Leland joined Leviton as the vice president of sales, network solutions in 2007. During
his time with Leviton over the past 16 years, Leland helped build Leviton\u2019s network solutions
offerings, including leading Leviton\u2019s acquisition of Berk-Tek. The acquisition solidified Leviton
as a single-source manufacturer of end-to-end systems \u2014 including connectivity and cable \u2014 for
customers around the world.
