Loud Technologies Inc has named Jon Rundle as Product Manager for Mackie.

The promotion follows nearly a decade in customer-facing sales and training positions within Mackie. His experience of the company’s user-base in the MI and professional audio sectors gives him a perspective on both customer relations and product development. In his new position, he will be directly involved in all aspects of product development, research and market analysis. He will work with the company’s engineering team, as well as continue to work directly with customers and end-users.

‘Jon’s expertise interacting with Mackie users on a deep level provides him a unique outlook that meshes well with our user-centric design philosophy,’ says John Boudreau, SVP of Product Marketing for Loud’s MG Brands. ‘His understanding of our customers, their needs, and their applications will be a huge asset in translating that knowledge into innovative, customer-friendly products.’

‘I’ve truly enjoyed my work with Mackie customers and the insight it has given me into the roles our products play in the creative process,’ Rundle says. ‘I’m thrilled to have an opportunity to take this knowledge and apply it to product planning and management. I’m excited for this next phase of my career with the brand I love.’
