Leon Speakers Adds Jeff Day as Executive Vice President
Leon Speakers announced the appointment of technology and AV industry veteran Jeff Day to a new role as Executive Vice President. Known for previous key roles as AVIXA board chair and CEO of Bluewater Technologies, Day is recognized across the industry for his strategic thinking, sales experience, and development acumen across a range of markets, customer types, and geographies.
Day will be responsible for overseeing the Ann-Arbor-based manufacturer’s commercial growth initiatives, including sales, marketing and business development. He will work closely with the executive team to develop and implement strategies around Leon’s impressive portfolio of design-oriented technology concealment and teleconferencing solutions as well as its growing list of Fortune-500 clients.
With the return-to-office movement exposing significant design gaps around technology in a variety of commercial spaces, Day says he plans to emphasize Leon’s “unique expertise in stylish and scalable tech concealment and high-quality audio solutions.”
Throughout his career, Day has become “well-known for his relationships, cross-industry navigation and the successful scaling of several organizations — including the launch of Telepresence video and acquisition of both Webex and Tandberg for Cisco Systems, Inc.” In 2014, Day became the CEO of Detroit-based Bluewater Technologies, where he led the company through a rebrand and significant growth. In 2018, he founded and launched a strategic advisory and development consultancy, North of 10 Advisors. His clients included content and experience creators, manufacturers, and integrators throughout the AV and extended tech industries. Day also served on the AVIXA board of directors from 2016 to 2022 and was the board’s chair in 2020.
