Jim Spenello

Jim grew up in upstate New York and in 1984 earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Union College in Schenectady, NY. Jim then went to work for Carrier Corporation in their Marketing department traveling the United States and Canada over a twelve-month period introducing new commercial products to their distribution partners and wholly-owned sales offices.

Jim started his career at Mingledorff’s in 1985 in the Sales Engineering department calling on consulting engineers. Three years later he moved his commercial talents over to the contractor sales arena. Calling on some of the largest design-build mechanical contractors in Metro Atlanta broadened Jim’s commercial technical expertise. During this time (1998-1999), he also completed his EMSMOT (Executive Masters of Science in Management of Technology) degree at Georgia Tech. After 20 years of field sales experience, Jim moved to an inside management role when he took over the North Georgia Commercial Sales and Controls Departments. In January 2008 he became General Manager of the North Georgia district and has since been named Vice-President. Jim has also served in an advisory role on many Distributor Advisory Committees and currently is the Carrier Commercial DAC chair.
