Dick Titus has led Middleton-based theatrical and architectural technology company ETC since 2019. Founded in 1975, the company manufactures lighting, rigging, networking and control products for venues around the world. It has expanded over the years from a small, theatrical lighting company to a full-system provider for museums, stadiums, television studios, hotels, hospitals, schools and theaters. Locally, ETC’s architectural controls systems are featured in Milwaukee’s Baird Center expansion.
Titus joined ETC in 1990 as director of manufacturing and became president in 2002. In 2019, he was named president and chief executive officer.
