About Us > History
CEO Maryanne Cataldo founded City Lights
Electrical Company in 1989. A summa cum laude graduate of
the University of Massachusetts, Ms. Cataldo left her job
as an economist in 1978 and became an electrician for a large
Boston-area construction company. Here, she earned a master
electrician license (one of the first women to do so in Massachusetts),
working her way through the company as a project manager and
estimator to experience the business side of the industry.
When that company closed, Ms. Cataldo formed her own, City
Lights Electrical, becoming one of the state's first
woman-owned electrical construction companies, while
attending Harvard Business School to earn an MBA.
In the company's earliest days, City Lights
began by doing maintenance work for private companies, from
installing computer lines for insurance companies to and new
systems for law firms and other service companies, eventually
moved into the public sector. Over the years, work for the
Central Artery Tunnel Project, Massachusetts Bay Transportation
Authority, City of Boston and Massachusetts Water Resources
Authority, along with numerous private clients, has contributed
to City Light's steady growth. Today, the company ranks 18th
in the state's largest woman-owned businesses, and maintains
over 200 field and office employees out of its Canton,
Massachusetts headquarters and Rhode Island offices.
City Lights has experienced this growth each
year based on providing customers with quality, commitment,
and vision. This is the reason clients, contractors, and designers
have confidence in City Light's ability as one of the
nations premiere
electrical contractors.
