Mike Sumner
L-Acoustics Creations has appointed Mike Sumner to the position of business manager, based in L-Acoustics Americas headquarters in Westlake Village, California.
In this newly created role, Sumner will spearhead the growth of the L-Acoustics Creations brand throughout the U.S. and Canada. Sumner’s remit includes exploring new business opportunities, developing sales targets and strategies, gathering and sharing market intelligence, building and supporting the brand’s Certified Integrator network, and collaborating with the manufacturer’s application and communications teams.
Sumner brings over a decade of experience in residential audio to L-Acoustics Creations. He spent nearly eight years with Harman International’s Luxury Audio/Lifestyle Division working as U.S. team lead and senior global field support engineer. He also served as senior audio consultant and Luxury/Pro Audio Coordinator for the Lifestyle Division’s New York City operations. Prior to that, he held managerial positions with both Bose and Adorama, plus operated a personal technology consultancy, Electro Consulting.
“L-Acoustics Creations is perfectly positioned for expansion, and I’m very excited to be joining the company,” Sumner said. “If you take the vision our founder, Christian Heil, has for the Creations division and combine that with the long-running heritage and success of L-Acoustics in the pro audio market, it’s quite apparent that this company offers an experience unlike anything else in the home market.
