Graybar Names Andy Ciccone Vice President of Customer Experience
Graybar has named Andy Ciccone as its new Vice President of Customer Experience. With more than three decades at Graybar under his belt, Andy has grown through roles in sales, branch management, and corporate leadership. That range matters: it’s given him a close view of how the business runs and, just as important, what customers expect at every turn.
Experience and New Responsibilities

The work will center on clarity and consistency: making it easier to do business with Graybar, removing friction where it shows up, and making sure feedback from customers turns into visible improvements. Put simply, the goal is a better experience at scale.
Leadership’s Perspective
Dennis E. DeSousa, Senior Vice President and General Manager, welcomed the appointment, noting, “Andy’s extensive experience within Graybar and the industry gives him a deep understanding of the priorities that matter most to our customers.” That confidence reflects what colleagues have seen over the years: Andy listens, prioritizes what customers value, and turns that into practical action.
