"This is a great opportunity, as well as a challenge, both personally and professionally," says Zucchinali. "Living in a new country is, of course, a great experience. However, helping to raise Clay Paky's profile and status in the United States is a matter of professional pride. It is something that I am proud to have helped with in the rest of the world."
CEO of Clay Paky America, PJ Turpin, is also pleased and excited to have Zucchinali as part of his team. "What is not to like about Giovanni?" laughs Turpin. "He knows the product inside out, he is a professional, and he is a great guy. We are really pleased that Giovanni has made the move from Italy to Southern California. Italy's loss is our gain, and he will be key in changing the perception of Clay Paky in the US market. We could not have asked for a better addition to our team."
Clay Paky America is the exclusive US distributor for the entire Clay Paky product range which includes the new Alpha range of 575 spot and wash fixtures.
