“Creating these two vertical market positions reflects Meyer Sound’s long-standing commitment to understanding customers’ needs from their perspective,” says Antonio Zacarias, Meyer Sound’s vice president of worldwide sales. “Andy and Daniel know what’s truly important to customers in their respective markets, and that’s the key to building lasting relationships.”
