MARCOUSSIS, France – November 2008 — L-ACOUSTICS’ worldwide headquarters in Marcoussis, France, announces the recent appointment of Jochen Frohn to the position of international business development director.
Frohn has extensive managerial experience in the pro audio industry, notably 14 years at Crest, where he served in a variety of roles including director of sales and marketing, Crest Europe, Middle East, Africa, and managing director of the company’s German subsidiary.
“It is great for me to finally work for a European company–and for one of the top leaders in the live sound industry,” says Frohn. “I am amazed by the fantastic team of talented, professional people at L-ACOUSTICS, and with the brand new K1 system on the verge of release, there are lots of opportunities for an ongoing success story. I am looking forward to being part of that!”
Frohn’s initial remit will be to take responsibility for the sales, development and coordination of L-ACOUSTICS’ business worldwide, focusing on actively building foundations for L-ACOUSTICS Germany and coordinating sales across Europe by building and piloting teams for these territories.
