Lavoce Italiana has announced the appointment of Paul Richardson to the role of business development manager for the Americas, bringing more than 20 years of experience in the audio industry to the role, including selling OEM transducers to MI and PA brands, establishing distribution networks to service the replacement and DIY sectors, and more recently, developing ODM projects for a large contract manufacturer.
Kevin Shove, Lavoce international sales director, says, “Paul joining our proposition at this point in our growth plan is fate and perfect timing for LAVOCE. Our sales to renowned PA and MI brands from the Americas were strong in 2023, but we needed a strategic sales manager like Paul to develop existing partnerships and the huge opportunities we have in the region, especially now our Nashville sales operation and warehouse is fully operational. We are all very excited and proud to welcome him to the team.”
Richardson adds, “It is clear to see that in a short time Lavoce has become a significant player for premium HF/LF transducers, and I am delighted to be part of the next phase of their sales strategy. Their research and R&D teams are world-class and together with so many attractive and innovative product platforms for OEM manufacturers and DIY sound system builders to choose from, it’s going to be a busy and enjoyable ride.”
