Meyer Sound has expanded its Asia-Pacific staffing with the appointment of John Zhang as Sales Manager for China and Korea, and Tim Boot as Asia-Pacific Business Development Manager.

Working with regional sales and support, Zhang and Boot will represent the full range of Meyer Sound products. ‘From theatrical spectacles to cinema and live touring, Asia is now a vibrant hub of some of the most sophisticated and ambitious Meyer Sound installations,’ says John McMahon, Meyer Sound VP of Solutions & strategy. ‘Our continued growth potential in Asia lies not only in quality products but also in our ability to provide timely and knowledgeable support to the region. With John and Tim on the team, we look forward to further accelerating our impact in the region.’

As the newest member of the Meyer Sound sales team, Zhang will help nurture the Meyer Sound distribution network and strengthen customer support capabilities through the company’s Beijing office. Bilingual in English and Mandarin, Zhang brings 15 years of sales experience in the global A/V industry, including prior high-level positions with Shanghai Media Group, Micronas (USA), Inc and Philips Electronics.

A 25-year veteran in audio, video, and acoustical design, Boot will be responsible for connecting Meyer Sound technology with architects, A/V consultants, sound designers, systems integrators, and acousticians throughout the region. Before joining Meyer Sound, Boot was CEO of KHz Design Inc and principal at Sonitus Consulting. While with Sonitus, he played a key role in development of the Meyer Sound Constellation system at SoundScape in Miami Beach, a landmark project that the New York Times reported as setting a ‘new standard for the outdoor relaying of indoor musical performances’.
