Prior to joining Behringer, Windhorst was a sales director at Schwarzkopf Professional. He also enjoyed a 13-year career spell with Yamaha Europe, where he served in various sales and marketing positions, culminating as Yamaha's general manager, a position he held for nearly four years. In that capacity, he was primarily responsible for the sales-and-marketing operations of Yamaha's commercial audio, professional audio and musical instrument market segments. In addition, he was instrumental in creating a dedicated European team to develop a new business-to-business sales channel for commercial audio high-end solutions.
Windhorst said: "I am proud to be part of Behringer, one of the fastest growing companies in the industry. Behringer has been known to be intrinsically customer-oriented and constantly delivering a quality product at a very competitive price and with a remarkable after-sales service. I wish to make a significant contribution to consolidate Behringer's already strong position in the European marketplace."
