With no sign of momentum slowing, the company has made three strategic additions to the senior management team, welcoming Theresa Lee (VP Business Development), Derek Leblanc (VP Technology), and Matt Cooper (VP Product and Marketing). JP Furey, BlueLight’s CEO, is making it a priority to bring additional experience to the team, continuing its rapid growth this year. These changes will also ensure that many of their younger employees, most recent graduates, have the mentorship they need to grow.  “We have a lot of exciting things on the horizon. We’re focused on building an all-star team that’s going to help us get to the next level. Derek, Theresa and Matt are experts in their fields and have brought new experience, insight and energy to the company.
