Harman Professional has announced the promotion of Adrian Curtis to Senior Director, EMEA Regional Sales Operations (RSO), in order to ‘consolidate, streamline and improve its European, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) sales operations’.
A 21-year veteran of Harman Professional, Curtis previously served as head of sales for Soundcraft and Studer. In his new role he will lead sales operations for all Harman Professional brands, reporting to Scott Robbins, Executive VP of Sales.
‘With Adrian Curtis, our channel partners, distributors, team members and customers get the best of both worlds – they have access to the experience, stability and expertise that comes with 20 years of sales leadership coupled with Adrian’s product knowledge, energy and can-do approach,’ Robbins says. ‘I am certain this appointment will have an immediate and positive impact on Harman Professional’s organisation and performance.’
Curtis joined Soundcraft in 1983, ten years after its founding and five years before the company was acquired by Harman. He has held progressively senior sales leadership positions within the organisation, taking over responsibility for Studer sales in 2009 and interim head of EMEA sales for Harman Professional in May 2012. In his new role, Curtis will continue to be based at Harman Professional’s UK offices.
‘With its winning array of brands, unmatched R&D firepower and deep organisation packed with passionate and skilled engineers and executives, I believe that Harman Professional has a unique and compelling sales proposition that pervades technology, integration and support,’ he says. ‘I look forward to working with my team and our customers to ensure we’re serving those customers more comprehensively and effectively than any other manufacturer in the EMEA region.’
