People: NAED Announces New Publisher of tED Magazine

The National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED) has announced the appointment of Craig Riley to publisher of tED magazine.

Riley has been with tED as an electronic media specialist since 2009. Riley previously served as publisher of Industrial Distribution magazine, where he worked for nearly 20 years. Before that time, he worked in sales roles for Purchasing magazine and Applied Technology’s Maintenance Technology magazine.

tED magazine is circulated monthly to more than 25,000 readers in the electrical distribution industry. Over the past 10 years, the magazine has added more editorial, been redesigned twice, increased advertising revenue, and advanced its online presence with multiple sites and newsletters. During this time, the magazine has also been recognized both nationally and regionally for editorial and design excellence.

Riley’s appointment comes after the previous tED publisher, Michael Martin, left to become president and CEO of the National Wood Flooring Association, based in St. Louis.

As tED’s lighting columnist for the past eight years, I’m sorry to see Michael Martin go and wish him well, and warmly welcome Craig Riley to the tED family!
