WAYNE, NJ — Street Glow, a manufacturer in auto-neon and performance lighting, has promoted Ralph Dodge to vice president of sales. In this new role, Dodge will be responsible for the corporation’s entire sales effort and will report to COO/CFO John Bailey. Dodge, who has been with Street Glow for one year, previously served as director of national accounts for the company. He has more than 26 years of sales experience in the automotive aftermarket, selling to retailers, mass merchants and nontraditional markets.

“Ralph played a vital role in the major advancements Street Glow made in 2004,” said Jack Panzarella, president and CEO of Street Glow, Inc. “Our distribution agreements with Circuit City and Tweeter retailers nationwide, our partnership with Street Glow (Hong Kong), Ltd, and our expansion of the StreetGlow and OPTX by StreetGlow product lines, have made this a strategic year for positioning, capitalization and growth. Ralph was a vital addition to strengthening our sales force this year. Moving forward, under his leadership, we hope to broaden our opportunity base and meet market demands by focusing on future needs in the aftermarket industry. With our sales team fully in place, we are poised to meet these challenges.”

Reporting to Dodge will be Gary Pomes, who was promoted to national sales manager. Pomes previously served as sales manager for the company. He too was credited for much of Street Glow’s success in 2004, most notably for his involvement in the agreements with Circuit City and Tweeter.

Also reporting to Dodge will be Wynsie Marie Chan, formerly of Doncorp USA, in the role of west coast account manager, and Michael Pinadella and Stephanie Panico as account executives.
