Arun Kumar to front Genelec growth in Asia
- Details
A respected audio industry veteran whose depth of experience stretches back more than 20 years, Kumar has already played a key role in the development of markets in the region. He is perhaps best known for the many years he spent successfully establishing and driving one of the subcontinent’s leading systems integration companies, eventually growing his team to more than 70 people. Later, he assumed responsibility for sales, marketing and operations for the Bose brand across the entire SAARC region.
Reporting directly to sales director Ole Jensen, he will be based in Delhi, while his work will complement that of long-standing sales & support engineer Clifford Pereira, who will continue to build Genelec’s studio business in India and beyond.
“Few members of our industry possess the level of knowledge, experience and commitment that Arun brings to his work and I fully expect him to create great opportunities for Genelec,” comments Jensen. “Asia and the Middle East are both extremely important markets for Genelec - in India alone the potential is huge. Arun will play a key role as we continue our efforts to develop our share of the international AV and home audio sectors.”
“We are delighted to welcome Arun to the Genelec family,” adds Genelec managing director, Siamäk Naghian. “During his career, Arun has developed a remarkable affinity for his customers - he knows their requirements and he understands the challenges that they face. He shares many of the values that we at Genelec hold dear, and I look forward to many successful years together.”
