Egret Consulting is celebrating 25th Anniversary in 2024!

Egret, Inc. was founded by Ted Konnerth and incorporated on November 2, 1999. Ted leveraged his experience in the lighting industry as an independent rep and then VP of Sales at Cooper Lighting to launch Egret. Ted purchased a franchise from Management Recruiter’s Inc. (MRI) and opened Egret’s office doors November 15, 1999. Egret began specializing in Lighting manufacturers and then started serving Electrical Distributors. Egret was awarded the Rookie of the Year office from MRI in 2000 and won multiple additional awards through 2003.

The business name was changed to Egret Consulting Group in 2002 and left MRI in 2004. Egret rapidly grew to become the largest and most successful search firm in the electrical industry.

Ted Konnerth retired from Egret Consulting in 2019. Egret was purchased that year by Brooke Ziolo. Egret has thrived under Brooke’s leadership and continues to grow at an exceptional pace. Egret has expanded over our first quarter century to focus on virtually every vertical in the electrical industry.

Egret Consulting currently focuses on Lighting Manufacturers, Lighting Rep Agencies, Lighting Design, AE & MEP Firms, ESCO’s and Contractors, Electrical Distributors, Wire and Cable Manufacturers, Tool Manufacturers, Power Distribution Manufacturers & Rep Agencies, Industrial Automation, Building Automation, Renewable Energy Technologies, Utilities, Cybersecurity, Software Programming, and IT.

Egret Consulting’s value proposition throughout our 25-year history has always been our unmatched market expertise and absolute honesty and ethics. Egret values the relationships that we’ve built over our first quarter century with our exceptional client partners and the outstanding industry talent that we have the privilege of speaking to every day. Egret was founded on the famous phrase “Find a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

We are grateful to have served the electrical industry for the past 25 years and look forward to our next 25 and beyond!

What is going on with the future of employees?  



The future of employees is a topic that I have lots of interest and speculation in, which has been driven by advancements in technology, economic conditions and social and cultural expectations.  As we look forward to some key trends to shape the future landscape.  

Technology

Automation and AI are set to help revolutionize manufacturing and many other industries.  We are seeing an influx of robotics helping us to focus on repetitive tasks or mundane tasks. This is seen with robotics in the warehouse managing the picking product to twisting and tying wire strands together.  This addition of automation into the factories allows for employees to concentrate on more complex problems and solutions. These robotics will need programmers, maintenance technicians and even developers of the robots themselves.
