On September 6, 2024, the board of directors of US Lighting Group, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Joseph Matozzo (“Mr. Matozzo”) as chief executive officer of the Company. Mr. Matozzo has extensive experience as a chief executive officer with expertise in operational and infrastructure development. In December 2023, he began providing CEO consulting services through Joseph Matozzo Fractional Executive Services. From June 2021 to October 2023, Mr. Matozzo served as the director of cargo and a 20% stockholder for Emery Air, LLC, in Rockford, Illinois, where he managed sales, corporate strategy, operations, human resources, and accounting and finance for a $125 million business. He remains a member of the Emery Air, LLC board. From December 2017 to May 2020, he served on the board of directors and as vice president of operations of Total Airport Services, where he was general manager from June to December 2017. At Total Airport Services he developed a business model to accumulate revenue of $650 million. Prior to that, he was the owner and CEO of Matozzo Industries Inc., an organization with ownership across multiple industries and a global presence. Mr. Matozzo was responsible for business strategy development, which created 6,600 employees and sold in 2018 for an undisclosed amount.

 

We believe that Mr. Matozzo brings significant value to the Company as a seasoned strategic leader with extensive experience building strong foundations for successful multi-million-dollar enterprises. Mr. Matozzo has a bachelor’s degree in business and finance from La Salle University. He is 62 years old.
