Jean Mullor has been named as the new chief executive officer of NEXO, taking the reins from Yoshi Tsugawa, who guided the company for the past three and a half years and is now returning to Japan to take up new responsibilities as the general manager for band and orchestra products in the MI & Audio Sales and Marketing Group of Yamaha Corporation.
Mullor comes to NEXO from Yamaha Music Europe, where he has spent nearly four years as managing director of the French subsidiary, in charge of the domestic distribution of musical instruments, commercial audio products, audio/video products and music school network development.
Trained as a lawyer, Mullor brings considerable management experience to the position. A passion for music has taken him from petrochemical company Mobil to Yamaha Corporation, joining the branch in 1992. Over the years, he’s augmented his legal expertise with HR, logistics, finance, sales and marketing experience.
“It’s a remarkable opportunity to join a company that has a 30-year record of technical achievement and an industry-leading reputation,” Mullor states. “With its flagship technology making inroads at the very top of the international market, and a slate of new products scheduled for release, these are exciting times for NEXO, and I’m looking forward to being part of its talented team.”
