Tubelite announces the addition of Jessica “Jess” Brooks as a client development manager covering Alabama and North Georgia. She works closely with glazing contractors and architectural teams to help them select and specify high-quality, aluminum-framed storefront, curtainwall, entrances, windows and daylight control systems.

Prior to joining Tubelite, Brooks served as a regional sales manager for Virginia Mirror Company and Virginia Glass Products, where she provided interior glazing, glass entrance and other glass products to retail, corporate and hospitality customers. With more than a decade of experience in the industry, Brooks previously worked as a commercial glazing contractor project manager at Ross Glass & Aluminum and Scenic City Glass in Tennessee. Her background also includes managing a Tennessee-based Tubelite distributor, where she worked on a Tennessee Department of Transportation’s building featuring Tubelite curtainwall.

With a focus on delivering exceptional customer service and building strong relationships, she is committed to helping her clients achieve their project goals with ease and efficiency. As part of the Tubelite Southeast team, Brooks reports to regional sales manager Marc Donahue and collaborates closely with sales, marketing, estimating and other colleagues across the country.
