AV company Electrosonic has appointed Marc Jourlait as chairperson of the board of directors.
Having originally joined Electrosonic’s board of directors in 2021, Jourlait's career spans more than three decades technology companies.
Jourlait will guide the company's global vision of delivering innovative experiential technology offerings, while providing strategic oversight, governance and operational guidance.

Expressing her enduring connection to Electrosonic and its mission, Cross added, "I want to personally thank all of the Electrosonic employees, fellow Board directors and Owners for their trust and support during my tenure."
Having begun his career in 1989 with Apple, Jourlait joined the company and held a variety of product management and business roles until 1997 when he joined Hewlett Packard for eight years as VP of marketing and GM. Between 2006 and 2014, he held senior roles at Seagate, Technicolor and Bose Corporation.
In 2015, Jourlait was appointed Navico's Deputy CEO and Board Member before taking up the CEO and Board Member role at Kodak Alaris. Currently, Jourlait holds several board and operating positions in Private Equity businesses, including Riverside Private Equity, Oaktree Capital and Cathay Capital.
