John is the right person to further build, develop and inspire our talented sales and support team,” said Lee Ellison, CEO of Audinate. “John brings a wealth of experience and we look forward to adding such a high-caliber sales leader to manage this period of rapid growth.”

“Audinate’s growing list of OEM partners signals the broad acceptance of Dante in the marketplace and customers’ desire for networked audio in commercial, live and broadcast applications,” said Rechsteiner. “I am excited to play a role in the transition of the AV industry to a networked world.”

In order to support the rapid proliferation of Dante networking, Audinate also announced the expansion of its technical solutions team to further expand its educational and awareness programs. Bernie Farkus has joined Audinate as Senior Technical Sales Engineer for North America and Kieran Walsh has moved into a new role as Regional Manager of Global Support Services for EMEA.
