💡 Paul Pickard: The Engineer Who Turned Light Into a Movement
Paul Pickard has spent over 25 years transforming bright ideas into tangible realities. A mechanical engineer by training and an entrepreneur at heart, Pickard has led teams that reshaped the lighting industry, from the first mass-market LED downlight module (LR6) to the first sub-$10 LED bulb on Home Depot shelves. His fingerprints are on the breakthroughs that helped LEDs move from lab curiosity to living-room necessity.
What distinguishes Pickard isn’t just his technical mastery; it’s his knack for bridging invention and impact. He sees patterns others miss, translating emerging tech into scalable, profitable products. Whether steering startups or global corporations, he’s built teams that innovate fearlessly and learn relentlessly.
At his core, Pickard believes progress starts with people. His legacy is as much about the products that changed an industry as the engineers and designers he’s mentored to keep lighting the way forward.
