Others
L to R: Fred Schleicher, Pieter van Hoogdalem, Duane Logan, and Paulo Guassi from Adamson
Headquarters of Canada's largest fully integrated speaker manufacturer has completed its strategic
management initiative with key new hires and the return of Brock Adamson as CEO.
Through challenging times in the pro audio industry, Adamson grew, invested in its
manufacturing
facilities and acquired audio technology firms BeSpline and Brain Modular. Those initiatives
were
paired with plans to strengthen the management team to offer best-in-class service, operations and
brand awareness. Five new positions were created in preparation for Brock Adamson's return as CEO.
"I've lived and breathed Adamson from the very early days to our most recent factory expansion in
Port Perry, even as I brought in Marc Bertrand to focus on strengthening our sales infrastructure.
Returning as CEO is energizing and exciting. In 2022, we asked ourselves, ‘what is the ideal
management team to fuel our continued growth?' We've created that team. When I walk into the office
now, I find myself working with a breadth of leadership talent that can execute our mission daily,"
says Brock Adamson.
In the first quarter of 2023, Pieter van Hoogdalem accepted the new Business Development
Strategist
position, focusing on alignment between sales, marketing and product. Hoogdalem adds a unique blend
of hands-on audio industry knowledge and market growth experience with Landr Audio Inc. and Proshop
Entertainment Inc. Marketing Consultant, Kevin Alexander has also joined the team. His previous
experience with TC Group and numerous audio brands allows Adamson to launch strategic marketing
initiatives to support its sales network and ambitious product introduction plans. Finally, Paulo
Guassi takes on a new Production Management role bringing extensive experience, including
his tenure
with Philips spin-off, Signify.
These additions were made following the addition of Fred Schleicher as Controller and Duane
Logan as
ERP Specialist in 2022. Schleicher and Logan bring enterprise operations experience from the
automotive and pharmaceutical industries.
"Our customers know we take incredible care and precision in creating speakers that perform beyond
the highest expectations," Brock Adamson says, "We're ready to increase that performance across the
company."
These new management positions allow Adamson headquarters to serve the sales network, including
Jochen Sommer at Adamson Europe GmbH, Frank Loyko AMER, Jasper Ravesteijn EMEA,
and Ben Milson ASIA
PACIFIC.
