He will be responsible for overseeing the R&D, marketing, and the North American Sales Division.
‘Ashly has an amazing reputation and a dedicated following based on superior products and unequalled customer support. Our Class-D amplifiers are the best designs on the market, and the company is successfully swimming against the current by building competitive products in the USA,’ stated Mr Leslie. ‘Ashly has a lot of opportunity to get closer to our customers and increase our value to sales partners and end users. I hope to implement new programmes that will give us deeper penetration and pursue a partner strategy that brings all of us new opportunities. Lastly, we will add several new positions in a variety of areas.’
‘Everyone here at Ashly Audio is excited about taking the company to the next level - what we call Ashly 2.0,’ commented Mark Wentling, Ashly president and CEO. ‘To accomplish this we need highly motivated leaders from within our industry, as industry insiders know best how the pro-sound business operates. Leslie brings a great blend of both pro-sound and "outside of" pro-sound experience to the company. With Leslie, we have the best of both worlds. Together with the backing of our parent company, JAM Industries, Ashly's future is unlimited.
