NEXO, the Italian audio brand, has announced the appointment of Andrea Fantini as Italian sales manager. He will take over the role from his father Gianni Fantini who will leave the company on April 1.
Like his father, Andrea Fantini joins NEXO from Joint Rent, an AV equipment supplier in Italy, which Gianni Fantini co-founded in 1990. During his 17-year stint with the AV technology and production services specialists, Andrea Fantini gained extensive front-line experience in the sales, rental and deployment of NEXO systems.
He said: “My time at Joint Rent has given me a great sense of the evolution of the NEXO brand and I’ve really enjoyed providing sales and technical support to customers. Now I’m really excited to take on this new role and to draw on my experience to help grow NEXO’s business here in Italy.
“It’s not the first time I’ve succeeded my father – I also took his place at Joint Rent when he joined NEXO. I’m looking forward to building on his achievements, bringing a new perspective while also honouring his accomplishments. Being part of the NEXO family is really special for me.”
As much a swapping of roles as a succession, Gianni Fantini will now return to run Joint Rent.
Gareth Collyer, sales and marketing director NEXO, added: “We’re delighted that NEXO customers in Italy can look forward to the same high levels of service from the two generation of Fantinis, albeit in new roles. We’d like to thank Gianni for all his great work while welcoming Andrea to the team.”
