Lighting industry veteran brings decades of leadership and strong client relationships to Chelsea’s growing team

Chelsea Lighting (“Chelsea”), a lighting and lighting technology distributor with deep project management expertise, announced the appointment of Frank Capone as Senior Vice President of Sales, further strengthening its leadership team and deepening its commitment to client service and growth.

Capone joins Chelsea after 18 years with Gotham Lighting Supply, where he most recently served as Chief Operating Officer. During his tenure, he helped grow one of the largest privately owned, family-run lighting companies in the industry, building trusted relationships with general contractors, electrical contractors, and developers across the New York and New Jersey markets. Before joining Gotham, Capone spent more than a decade on the New York Board of Trade, where he owned and operated a trading firm—an experience that sharpened his leadership and business strategy skills.

“I am thrilled to bring an industry legend like Frank Capone onto our team,” said Sean Lafferty, Chief Executive Officer of Chelsea Lighting. “Frank brings years of experience, deep industry relationships, and a strong desire to deliver even more value to his clients under the Chelsea delivery model. Frank’s track record of growth and success in the New York and New Jersey markets, combined with Chelsea’s track record of excellence in project delivery is a terrific recipe to bring immediate value to our clients.”

In his new role, Capone will focus on expanding Chelsea’s market presence and strengthening partnerships with developers, contractors, and design professionals. He will also mentor the next generation of sales leaders, driving new business opportunities and supporting the company’s continued national growth.

“I’m honored to join a company as respected and forward-thinking as Chelsea Lighting,” said Frank Capone, Senior Vice President of Sales at Chelsea Lighting. “This is an exciting opportunity to work with an exceptional team and contribute to a culture built on excellence, innovation, and integrity. I’m eager to build on Chelsea’s success, deepen our relationships, and help position the company for its next phase of growth.”

In 2022, the firm opened offices in Chicago and Fort Lauderdale. Through end customer relationships at the Board level and supported by Chicago-based private equity partner, Kinzie Capital Partners, Chelsea continues to expand.
