James Magee, Jr., General Manager and President

Jim Magee's involvement in the electronics industry began in 1978 with Avnet Inc., where he served as an Area Sales Manager. In 1988, he was promoted to General Manager and transferred to guide the company's Tampa operation. Building his management experience, Magee accepted the position of Regional Sales Manager (Florida and Puerto Rico) for Philips Semiconductor in 1991. Two years later, he was recruited by Wyle Electronics to open the company's Tampa branch, where he built a team that generated $16 million in sales during its first year. In 1995, America II recruited Magee to run the company's now 350,000-square foot warehouse and sales floor. Since then, Magee has brought America II to new levels in quality and service by spearheading the movement toward ISO 9002 and ANSI/ESD S20.20 certification.
