Audio specialist Sennheiser announced several appointments to strengthen Sennheiser’s domestic product and sales teams, company officials said.
Kevin Waehner was named product specialist for professional systems; Adam Irby area sales manager for retail; and Jack Ewer area sales manager for professional system.
“We are very pleased to be able to attract the best talent in the industry despite the unpredictable nature of the economy,” said John Falcone, president and CEO of Sennheiser USA, in a statement. “This is a strong example of our continued growth.”
Waehner reports to Robb Blumenreder, channel manager for professional systems, and holds product marketing responsibility across a range of products, including Sennheiser’s 2000 series, 3000 and 5000 wireless series, and MKE and MKH series microphones. Waehner brings over 15 years of experience in both marketing strategy and corporate communications to his new role and was formerly employed by companies including Sam Ash, Marakon Associates, and Gold Circle Films.
Irby reports to Thom Salisbury, western sales manager for retail, and has more than 10 years of experience in retail, including several years in consumer electronics. Prior to his current appointment, he worked for companies including Panasonic and Sears Holdings, where he was national training manager for the Home Electronics Division. His territory includes Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri, where he focuses on Sennheiser’s retail, audiology, music industry, and telecom sales channels.

Ewer will focus on professional systems and integration accounts and covers sales areas including Northern California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. He brings over 20 years of sales experience in the professional audio and communications industries and was previously national account manager for Shure Incorporated.
The latest appointments follow a restructuring of Sennheiser’s sales and product marketing organization that began last December, focused on its three primary business segments: retail, professional audio and systems integration.
