President

He worked his way up and became the qualifier for the company as a licensed Master Electrician in 2001. At that time he was the youngest individual in the State of Florida to hold the Unlimited Electrical Contractors License. In 2002, Fernando became a shareholder of the company and assumed his role as President in 2012.

Norka Munilla
Founder
Norka Munilla is the founder of Thunder Electrical Contractors Inc. Under Norka’s leadership, Thunder has grown into a reputable and highly sought after firm. It is through her values of “doing to others as you would like others to do unto you” that has earned the company a reputation of dependability. Norka’s career in the construction industry did not begin in the electrical field. From 1980 to 1993, Norka was instrumental in the management of several construction and development companies. It was her administrative abilities and financial savviness that helped her career prosper. In 1993 the opportunity arose to buy an electrical company. Over twenty years later, her success is obvious with over 100 employees and $20 million dollars in revenue. Norka has passed the legacy onto her children Fernando and Natacha but continues to serve as an advisor for Thunder.
