With a background that encompasses sales management, marketing, strategic market development, artist relations, and retail aspects of professional audio and MI, Parker’s experience makes him an ideal choice for his new position with the company. He is stationed at Royer’s corporate headquarters in Burbank and commenced work in January 2012.

These functions include managing Royer’s U.S. dealer base, managing a number of the company’s international dealers and distributors, developing initiatives to increase domestic and international market share, and assisting with various aspects of the company’s artist relations initiatives.
Parker’s background covers a wide range of experiences that make him ideally suited to his new position at Royer Labs.

In this capacity, he was responsible for establishing, maintaining, and overseeing day-to-day operations for both domestic and international accounts.

His sales management experience includes positions with San Francisco, CA-based Budda Amplification (Sales Manager) and Petaluma, CA-based Mesa Boogie Ltd (Western Divisional Sales Manager). Parker’s in-the-trenches retail experience includes time with Gelb Music of Redwood City, CA.
Parker commented on his new role with Royer Labs, “Royer Labs has created one of the most sought-after microphone product lines in professional audio and has a well-deserved and highly respected reputation in our industry. With over 25 years of experience in the MI and pro audio segments of this industry, I believe my background in sales, marketing, and retail makes me well suited for the responsibilities of this new position and I look forward to contributing to the company’s continuing growth as we move forward.”
John Jennings, Royer Labs’ VP of Sales and Marketing, shares Parker’s enthusiasm, “Kevin came to Royer highly recommended and in the brief time he’s been with us, he’s already proven to be a valuable asset to the team and a hard-working, forward-thinking contributor to our company’s efforts. I’m very pleased to have Kevin on board. It’s clear that he’ll bring even more to Royer than we originally expected.”
