American Way Marketing Announces Ownership Change
American Way Marketing (AWM), a music accessory distributor and producer based in Elkhart, Indiana, has announced a transfer of ownership from John Musselman to Tim Ricci, company vice president. Kathy Donahoe, president, and Jakob v. Wolff, both member owners, will continue in their current roles. Ricci began his career in the music industry with Music & Arts as a sales associate and worked his way up through various roles to director of merchandising. Ricci left Music & Arts in December 2017 after accepting the vice president role at AWM.
“Along with Kathy and Jakob, I’m so grateful to be continuing on with John’s vision of what AWM could accomplish,” he said. “It has been wonderful to learn the history of AWM and the music industry from John, since I started. His passion for the industry and incredibly detailed analysis of product and pricing have been great influences for me. We have a wonderful team of people that work hard to provide top quality accessories and premium customer service, and we look forward to continuing that tradition.”
