CE continually seeks ways to foster an inclusive environment by celebrating diversity and leveraging the talents of associates with shared experiences and communities. As a result, we launched our first Associate Resource Group, the CE Women’s Network, in 2022.

The CE Women’s Network was developed to identify and expose women at CE to opportunities and provide a safe environment within the organization to learn and grow. ​​ Our vision is simple – support and improve the professional experience for all women at CE while celebrating their personal development. The network focuses on professional development, work-life balance, health & wellness and community outreach. 

We look forward to launching more Associate Resource Groups in the future.

At CE, our goal is to embrace the diverse experiences, backgrounds, knowledge and ideas that make up our People First culture. From our store locations to our e-Commerce and mobile platforms, we are committed to investing in our associates and helping them grow their careers. We know our associates and our customers make the difference.

Meet Jackie Reymond, CE's Assistant Controller. There is no better way to describe Jackie other than “cool, calm and collected.” Jackie joined the CE family in 2008 as a Senior Accountant working out of CE's Syracuse, New York office. Since then, she has grown within the Finance Department as she now holds the Assistant Controller position in corporate HQ and has been excelling for the last 6 years. Her primary role is to oversee the general accounting team of 21 associates, three of which directly report to her. Whether it’s managing both internal and external audits, or working closely with her team on monthly closes, Jackie remains focused, organized and ultimately -- gets the job done! With a fast-paced environment such as Jackie’s, it’s imperative that everyone is on the same page. Jackie believes that having clear communication and expectations with her team is helpful in successfully completing projects. When Jackie isn’t crunching the numbers, you can find her and her husband traveling the United States in their camper along with spending quality time with family and friends.

Meet Dess Desir, CE’s Branch Manager in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. Dess has been part of the CE family for ten years, initially as a Warehouse and Counter Associate. Joining CE, he didn’t have much knowledge about the HVAC business. However, Dess’s passion for learning propelled his career to where it is today. After five years of working in the Warehouse, he grew into his current Branch Manager role, making a tremendous impact with his coworkers and CE customers daily.

Whether it's customer service, sales, inventory management, or people management, Dess constantly evolves personally and professionally. He shares, “I am proud of my story. I still have much to learn, but I am learning daily.”

Nelisha's role entails assisting CE customers with start-up claims, filing reports for missing parts or damaged equipment, being the go-to for our customers about order status, and more. Beyond that, Nelisha embodies teamwork and community. Whether it's her philanthropy efforts outside of work or making her colleagues feel heard and respected, she puts her heart and soul into everything she does. She shares, “I love connecting with everyone and being the point person when someone needs it. I also love being able to share my experience and knowledge.”

Meet Dawn Walet, Branch Manager for CE's Lafayette, Louisiana branch. Dawn has been with CE for 13 years and continues to make a strong impact on both her colleagues and customers.
