Focusrite Pro has strengthened its sales team with the appointment of Dave Rieley as US & Canada Sales Manager; Peter Tilley as Western US Sales Manager; Michael York as Central EMEA Sales Manager; and Anthony Wilkins as EMEA Sales Manager.
Currently relocating to the Nashville area as home base, Rieley will be responsible for managing Focusrite Pro business throughout the US and Canada. He joined Focusrite Pro a year ago as Western Region Sales Manager and was a former sales manager at Vintage King Nashville and a recording engineer in both the music and post fields.
Reporting to Rieley in the Americas, Tilley joins the team as the Western Regional Sales Manager. Prior to joining Focusrite two-and-a-half years ago, Tilley spent several years in sales at Guitar Center both selling and providing sales training. Upon joining Focusrite, he took over as the lead Red/RedNet tech and with the expansion of Tech Support earlier this year, he stepped into the role of Senior Tech, teaching the products and support expectations to the rest of the Tech Support team. He is based in Los Angeles.
York recently joined Focusrite from Avid in the UK and will to serve the brand in the Central Europe territory (including Germany, France and Benelux). He is multi-lingual, which will be an asset in growing sales, especially in French- and German-speaking territories, and his strong technical background provides added expertise to serve these markets.
Wilkins joins the Focusrite Pro team from Aspen Media, who distribute audio and control products for broadcast, live, postproduction and recording companies, and prior to that was international sales manager for Trinnov Audio, Junger Audio and RTW. He has a great deal of experience managing EMEA channel partners and has a strong technical background in professional audio interfaces. Reporting to Wilkins will be Will Kent, managing UK sales, and Michael York.
‘As we look toward the 2020 calendar year, I’m pleased to announce additions and internal changes we have made to strengthen our Focusrite Pro sales team to meet the challenges of a growing but increasingly competitive landscape in the AoIP and pro audio interface markets,’ says Focusrite Pro VP Global Sales and Marketing, Rich Nevens. ‘Our goal has been to assemble a sales force that had strong technical chops and that would have the equipment sales experience to be able to comfortably guide customers through the migration from traditional digital formats into audio over IP, specifically Dante, and with these new hires, we now have that team in place.’
