Atlanta, GA -- British manufacturer Meridian Audio Ltd. has finalized
two new appointments to foster its burgeoning growth in the U.S.
market. Walter Schofield joins Meridian in the new post of president, Meridian America, effective June
1, while Jeff Dean has been appointed to director operations in the
company's new office in Los Angeles, California.
“Meridian America has been growing well in recent years,” said Meridian
chairman and co-founder Bob Stuart. “It’s an exciting time for our
company, and a time of great opportunity. We need to expand the scope
of our operations, and feel very fortunate to have Walter and Jeff join
us.”
Industry veteran Walter Schofield is well known in high-end AV circles
from his positions in the Harman Specialty Group as VP of sales and
marketing of its flagship Levinson brand.
Meridian’s CEO, Tim Ireland, added, “Walter’s knowledge of the American
high-end market and his lifetime of experience with the advanced
technology and business concepts are substantial assets. We’re fully
confident that he will bring important advantages to Meridian as we
continue to expand and diversify in the USA.”
Schofield will be based at Meridian America’s headquarters in Atlanta,
Georgia, where he will direct a quickly expanding company that has
recently added keystone products, such as the Meridian/Ferrari F80
Music System, to its core of high-end AV designs. Schofield joins a
team of sales and technical professionals led by Meridian America’s COO, Norm Steinke.
“With Norm at the helm, our U.S. sales operation has produced very
impressive work over the last five years, as evidenced by Meridian’s
fantastic growth there,” Ireland added.
In the second appointment, Meridian has asked Jeff Dean to run the
operations of its new Hollywood office. An experienced
entertainment-industry consultant,
Dean has also served as president of Silverline Records, and as VP of
sales and marketing of A&M Records. He will interface Meridian’s
products and brand with key industry executives and players -- pursing
marketing opportunities in film, TV, and print media, furthering the
use of Meridian solutions in industry environments such as screening
rooms and editing suites as well as evangelising Meridian’s unique
technologies among content providers.
“We’re thrilled to have Jeff Dean with us in L.A.,” Stuart said. “It
was a pleasure for me to work with Jeff in his prior roles; he
understands our products, technologies and the L.A. scene. He will be
highly effective in furthering awareness of Meridian’s unmatched video
and audio performance, and in bringing the involving Meridian
experience to circles where they can be uniquely appreciated.”
