Following the recent announcement of a new Global Sales and Business Development organization, L-Acoustics is pleased to introduce the new Business Development team. Consisting of experts within the company, alongside recent appointments of industry leaders, the Business Development team will “drive the L-Acoustics vision and strategy within key vertical markets while providing expertise and deep support to consultants, partners and end users around the globe.”

The new L-Acoustics sales organization is focused on sales strategy, business development and building territorial sales channels. Under the general management of L-Acoustics CEO Laurent Vaissié, the new team is spread across three divisions: Sales and Sales Operations focusing on developing regional sales channels; Business Development concentrating on developing commercial expertise and end-user outreach in key vertical markets; and Strategy Leadership developing mid- to long-term go-to-markets strategies and key partnerships as well as managing resource planning and market intelligence.

The Business Development team will focus on setting strategies and roadmaps in five key vertical markets. L-Acoustics veteran William Cornell takes the role of Director, Musicals & Theater, while Scott Wakelin has been promoted to Director, Hospitality. Paul Keating will assume a double role as Managing Director L-Acoustics Creations EMEA and Director of the Architectural vertical. In this new role, Keating will manage distribution, logistics and application support for residential, marine and architectural markets in all direct markets worldwide outside the Americas while building relationships with clients, decision-makers and private owners in this strategic vertical market.

To round out the Business Development team, L-Acoustics has appointed two new key roles. Olivier Roure joins the company as Business Development Director, Sports Facilities. Roure will bring a global approach to the sports facilities vertical, expanding its share within the market. Roure has built a career of over two decades in the pro audio industry at leading companies like JBL Professional (a Harman Professional Company), QSC LLC, and as an independent consultant.
