I am thrilled to have both of them in these key positions.’
Ms Schaeffer previously held the position of vice president of sales. In her new role, she will focus on business development by strengthening the manufacturer’s relationships within existing channels while expanding the company’s reach and penetration into new markets. According to the manufacturer, the long-term relationships that she has developed over the years with representatives, consultants, integrators and distributors in the A/V industry, along with her true passion for the technologies and solutions offered by this market sector, make her an ideal fit for this new position.
With a rich history in sales and marketing management within the professional audio and system integration market sectors, Mr Schaeffer has reportedly been instrumental in the growth of the company and identifying new sales opportunities. In his new position he will continue to capitalise on his unique skill set and guide the company with increased sales and market initiatives.
