Vince De Lio – Brady Product Specialist

Meet Vince De Lio! Vince is the Brady Product Specialist for Standard Electric. He works out of our Roselle, IL location. Get to know Vince!

What is your role and what do you specialize in?

I am the Brady Product Specialist. My role consists of business development and application engineer. I specialize in Brady safety and identification products, including printers, labels, and various safety services that Brady offers. My role is to mostly work with our Account Managers to see where there are opportunities to expand our Brady business.

How did you become interested in Engineering?

I have never really been in an engineering role before, and I think the term is used in a different way when it comes to my role. While engineering has always been something I have been interested in, I have never pursued it. I look forward to taking on the challenge of learning the Brady products and being able to assist our customers with whatever technical needs they may have.

What attracted you to this industry?

All my previous roles have been with manufacturers, so this was a changeup for me. When I worked at Kolbi Pipe Markers, I was in the pipe ID and safety side of things, so this role as the Brady Product Specialist made sense since Brady offers safety related products and services.

What traits do you have that help you succeed in your role?

Being in sales for over 10 years, I have developed a lot of people skills. I am a very customer service and satisfaction-oriented person, so I think that aligns nicely with my role here. I am a great listener, and I present solutions to issues that our customers might have.

When you're working with clients, how do you help them identify and solve the problems that they're facing?

I believe the best way to achieve this is to be an active listener and make sure that I ask the right questions. Knowing the Brady products and their applications is very important as well. With an understanding of that, I can take that information and create a solution based off their needs.

What's the most important thing you've learned while working for the Standard Electric family of companies?

I think the most important thing I have learned here is that Standard Electric is a very customer satisfaction driven company and that they are an employee satisfaction driven company as well. I have never been part of a company that cares so much about how their customers and employees feel. It is something I am so fortunate to have found, and I boast about to my family/friends.

What kinds of things do you like to do outside of work?

Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my family. I have a 3-year-old son named Carmine, so he keeps me on my toes and busy all the time. Aside from that, I like to watch/play sports, including baseball, basketball, and football. I am a big fan of indie and psychedelic music, so I like to go to concerts whenever I have the chance to.

What's something most people don't know about you?

I studied abroad in Spain for 3 months when I was a senior in college. I spent time in Barcelona and Granada, spending most of the time exploring and learning about work-life balance in Spain and how it differs from how it is here in the United States. It was a great experience, and I was able to travel to other parts of Europe while I was out there as well.
