NAEC NexGen Announces Chair and Vice Chair

John Mezzo and Morgan Jones

John Mezzo, president of NYC-based Dynasty Elevator, and Morgan Jones, general manager of Hyperion Solutions based in Memphis, Tennessee, have been named chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Association of Elevator Contractors (NAEC) NexGen — a group whose mission is to bridge the gap between the next and current generation of vertical-transportation (VT) industry leaders. Prior to launching Dynasty, Mezzo had a 15-year VT industry career that included branch and project manager positions at Schindler in the NYC area and at Otis in both Nevada and New York. Starting in 2016, Jones held various positions at Torin Drive International before the company was sold to a private equity firm in 2021. Torin Drive International then became part of Hyperion, and Jones took on the GM role in 2022. “There will be a wave of current leaders rolling out in the coming years, leaving the next generation to stand in the gap,” Jones observed, adding she is excited to help bring education and collaboration to these future leaders. Mezzo said NexGen will be focusing on motivating and developing new industry leaders, and that the NexGen group is “vital to the success of our industry.” Elevator professionals under 40 are invited to check out NexGen on LinkedIn.
