Sennheiser has recruited Phil Cummings and Byron Gaither to its Music Collaborations Team, part of the company’s Strategic Collaborations division.
The Music Collaborations Team is responsible for establishing relationships with key artists, engineers, high-profile events, productions and organisations within the music industry.
‘Sennheiser prides itself on its excellent reputation for support of the music industry,’ says Strategic Collaborations President, Paul Whiting, ‘The Music Collaborations Team is all about continuing our dedicated customer focus and the fruitful cooperation with artists and engineers – a cooperation that benefits both sides very much and is a vital part of our vision for the future.’
Cummings takes on the role of Relations Manager EMEA, with responsibility for coordinating music collaborations activities and education projects for Sennheiser in the region. Before joining the Strategic Collaborations Team, he enjoyed a highly successful career in artist relations, entertainment relationships and education projects with Sennheiser’s UK team.
‘Phil will ensure our continuous premium level of service to key customers, end users and influencers, as well as developing strategic partnership opportunities for Sennheiser with a strong focus on music and education,’ says Pierre Morant, who heads the Music Collaborations Team.
Gaither, meanwhile, has been appointed Relations Manager Americas, assuming responsibility for coordinating Music Collaborations activities for Sennheiser in the US. He joins industry veteran Christian Isaac, who is also active as Relations Manager Americas, but puts a special focus on Canada.
Located in Los Angeles, Gaither comes with 18 years’ experience gathered with PreSonus, Adam Audio and Apple. He has also toured, played on albums, recorded and produced.
‘With his comprehensive experience in the music industry and music business, his strong interpersonal skills and technical abilities, Byron is the ideal choice for looking after the US market,’ Morant says. ‘The appointment of Phil and Byron will help drive our Strategic Collaborations strategy forward. We are delighted to have them onboard.’
