MARCOUSSIS, France \u2013 April 2022 \u2013<\/strong> With the professional audio industry roaring back to life again across all vertical markets\u2014touring, festivals, theatre, corporate, install, immersive, and more\u2014L-Acoustics has continued investing in its teams to ensure that it will smoothly and sufficiently keep up with customers\u2019 needs. Having recently announced the creation of a team dedicated to the Asia-Pacific region, the manufacturer now announces that it has created and filled three key Sales Director positions to match its regional operational structure: BJ Shaver for the Americas, David Cooper for Asia-Pacific (APAC), and Jacob Barfoed for Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). All three directly report to L-Acoustics Global Director of Business Development Jochen Frohn, BJ and David will also be developing regional sales strategies in close collaboration with Americas CEO Alan Macpherson and APAC CEO Tim Zhou respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
