Portsmouth, NH – December 12, 2022 – In another key staff addition, Russound announced today the appointment of Andrew Werdean to the position of Key Account Sales Director for Western US and Canada.

Based in Chandler, Arizona, Mr. Werdean, whose extensive background in audio, custom installation, and business consulting includes leadership roles at Dynaudio, Remote Technologies, Inc.

He reports directly to the company’s CEO, Charlie Porritt.

“Andrew Werdean is one of the most knowledgeable sales professionals in audio,” says Mr. Porritt. “Between his positions helping to drive two of the biggest names in the business, and his proven track record as a highly motivated business professional, our key accounts are going to enjoy an even greater level of support from a company that always treats its customers as its number one priority.”
