Jim Mack has joined Ashly Audio team as CEO. Mack will report directly to Marty Szpiro, president & CEO of Jam Industries, Ashly’s parent company.
Mack began his career in the mid-1980s as a sales rep for Sound Marketing, a position he held for a decade before transitioning to management-level positions in Alesis (VP of sales and marketing), TASCAM (general manager), SaneWave (VP of sales and business development), and TEAC AMERICA (executive VP). In addition, he served as CEO at PreSonus for seven years.
Mack said, “Jam is one of the best companies in the industry and has an excellent record of finding great people and then stepping back to let them do what they do well. Ashly has a great brand. It’s one of the old, iconic brands that has held strong for decades. Indeed, Ashly’s stable, passionate, and talented team was a big draw for me. They’ve done fabulous things with the company, and I’ll add to their strengths, not change them. I’m especially excited to work with Mark [Wentling], whom I’ve known for a while.” Wentling will remain as Ashly’s president.
Ashly Audio is a designer and manufacturer of signal processing equipment and power amplification for use in the commercial sound contracting and professional audio markets. The 42 year-old company is headquartered in Webster, New York.
