US theatrical sound reinforcement, installation and design company Masque Sound has appointed Stephanie Hansen as Vice President.

In her new position, Hansen will focus on expansion opportunities as well as the development and acquisition of new business, while continuing in her role of general manager, a title she has held since 2008.

‘Stephanie has been a vital member of the Masque Sound team since joining nearly ten years ago,’ says company P President, Geoff Shearing. ‘Not only does she have all the qualities you look for in a strong leader, but her astonishing track record of success as General Manager has made this promotion inevitable.’

Hansen joined Masque Sound in 2004, spending her first years working in various departments within the company and gained comprehensive knowledge of the business. ‘Stephanie made a point to not only learn the daily ins and outs of Masque Sound but also to invest in the audio industry as a whole, taking note of current trends, new products and key players in the field,’ says Shearing.

‘For the past four years as General Manager, Stephanie has performed brilliantly,’ he continues. ‘Under her leadership Masque has been able to reduce operating costs while simultaneously improving our already famous customer service and technical abilities. She has done a remarkable job of honing and refocusing the company on what is important, and I feel we are in a perfect position to take a run at the next 75 years.’

Prior to joining Masque Sound, Hansen worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology while obtaining her Bachelor’s degree at Harvard. During that time, she also undertook her management training.
