Rick Plushner has been named President of Ocean Way Audio, responsible for ‘guiding the direction of the company while capitalising on his unique skill set of product development, merchandising, vendor relations, distribution, supply management and direct marketing’. The move is part of the ongoing series of strategic decisions by Ocean Way Audio that is quickly establishing the company as a leader in the field of truly unmatched speaker systems.
Prior to joining Ocean Way Audio, Plushner held executive positions with several pro audio operations including Guitar Center’s professional division GC Pro (Vice President), where he established the brand as a nationwide leading professional audio dealer; Solid State Logic (President), where he diversified the company’s operations into the postproduction and broadcast markets while establishing a dealer channel for outboard equipment; Euphonix (VP of Sales), where he facilitated sales growth to support a successful NASDAQ IPO; and AMS/Neve (General Manager), where he helped bring to market a wide range of digital and analogue recording and mixing consoles.
‘Rick brings an enormous amount of experience with him that will greatly benefit Ocean Way Audio and its clients worldwide,’ says Ocean Way Audio founder, Allen Sides.
‘We’ll expand the No Limit studio monitor product line, push further into the ultra-high end of the audiophile market, launch a line of professional outboard audio equipment and offer unparalleled acoustical designs with full studio integration,’ Plushner says. ‘To accomplish the latter, Ocean Way Audio will now offer the services of Malvicino Design Group, which boasts more than 300 professional studio design projects worldwide, in addition to the expertise of Allen Sides. The company boasts a team of acclaimed, industry-reading principals and services, and I am glad to be onboard for this next phase of growth for Ocean Way Audio.’
