Sonepar appoints new president in West region
Sonepar appointed Scott Jansen president of its West region, effective January 1.
Jansen’s predecessor Dana Mouritzen will assume leadership of the East region while continuing his concurrent role as chief operating officer for Sonepar USA.
Jansen has served as president of QED, a Sonepar company, since 2021. In his three decades with the company, he has played a pivotal role in driving growth and transformation. He was instrumental in the sale of QED to Sonepar in 2015 and the integration of Independent Electric Supply (IES)’s Arizona locations into QED in 2023. Jansen most recently spearheaded the expansion of QED’s logistics network with central distribution centers near Denver, Colorado, and Phoenix, Arizona.
“Scott brings a wealth of experience and a proven ability to navigate complexity. He executes strategic plans effectively and knows how to best support our operating com-panies so they can grow profitably," said Rob Taylor, president of Sonepar Americas. "I’m confident the west region will have a smooth transition under his leadership.”
Jansen will continue to lead QED while the organization conducts an internal and external search for his successor. Mouritzen, who led the West region since 2021, will succeed for-mer East Region President Alan Rosenfeld, who is retiring at the end of this year.
