  Brand Manager

  We are a dynamic and successful team of people who are passionate about what they do. My main responsibility as Brand Manager is to develop L-Acoustic and Avid Live brands offered by NMK Electronics. This includes handling all kind of shows: industrial shows requirements, and trade shows, as well as end users requests, by making products presentations, and meeting the scope of projects that will bring in the right benefit for the customers and keep the brand standards high. My 15 years of experience in audio engineering and sound systems is a huge plus when it comes to understanding what the customers want to hear. Another important aspect of my job is to make sure that all the projects we undertake are successful. This requires me to be on top of the latest technologies, to know which products and services are selling well, and to have the ability to create new ones if needed.
