“I’m really excited to add Jimmy to our team,” says Karl Winkler, VP sales/service at Lectrosonics. “His breadth of experience in the field, his energy level, his easygoing nature, and his hands-on knowledge of audio are all important assets for the company and our upcoming efforts in the region.”
“I’ve always known Lectrosonics to be the Rolls Royce of wireless, and it is a great honor for me to be working with the company,” Yap adds. “When I visited Lectrosonics headquarters in New Mexico, not only did it reinforce the phenomenal brand quality that everyone in the industry already recognizes, but I also got to meet the many staff members who have worked at the company,10, 20 and even 30 years. Lectrosonics is a company who cares deeply for its people, its staff and its clients, and I hope to extend this throughout the APAC region.”
