Jeff Davis has retired as Senior Vice President of Business Development and Distribution at Hubbard-Hall.
Davis retired after 42 years at Hubbard-Hall, where he experienced nearly every facet of the company – from manufacturing and sales to marketing, purchasing, and leadership roles. He joined Hubbard-Hall in 1983 as a sales trainee and has held multiple leadership positions over his career, becoming an officer of the company in 1999.
To commemorate his retirement, Davis sat down with Shelley Lusas, Director of Marketing for Hubbard-Hall at D’Amelio’s Restaurant in Waterbury, Connecticut, for a conversation that is as much about celebration as it is reflection. Designed to be a fun, relaxed setting, this episode captures the spirit of what Davis himself coined as “socializing with intent,” sharing stories, wisdom, and laughter while reflecting on a remarkable career.
In this candid conversation with Lusas, Davis shares lessons learned, industry insights, the evolution of metal finishing and industrial chemistry, and the relationships that have defined his career. Along the way, his stories are full of humor, nostalgia, and the kind of mentorship that leaves a lasting impact.
