Genelec has promoted Sami Mäkinen to the role of business manager – AV install. This key segment of the Genelec business will benefit from Mäkinen’s previous experience within the company, which has given him a comprehensive knowledge of the Genelec product portfolio across the company’s various business segments.
Sami Mäkinen joined Genelec in 2007 as domestic sales manager (Finland) and later moved to international sales manager, home audio. His new role will see him use his experience in the company to develop existing customer relationships within the AV market and explore new opportunities.
