Ellen has been with ACS since its founding as Vice President until she stepped up as President in 2017. Ellen applied her prior career skills as a marketing director to help ACS establish a highly communicative, service-oriented culture. She helps ACS attract and retain excellent talent--most employees have been with ACS for over ten years--and keeps the team aligned on the company's strong values of excellence, integrity, service, trust and support.

Always an advocate for advancing expertise, Ellen leads ACS into the future of electronics and electronic repairs with continual investments in capabilities and technology. She is active with regional manufacturing and robotics associations, the Women’s President Organization, was accepted into and graduated from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program, and sometimes shares her knowledge in the ACS blog.

From day one, when ACS was literally housed in a large shed at our farm, ACS has been laser focused on customer service at its best. No matter how much the company grows, that promise will be unchanged. With three sons, a rescue dog, an apiary full of honey bees and a historic farmhouse, there is never a dull moment in Ellen's life--that's a good thing because Ellen thrives on being resourceful.
