LOUD Technologies Builds Inside Sales Management Team

December 9, 2004 – Woodinville, Wash. – LOUD Technologies today introduced the addition of Carolyn Hommer as Director of Customer Fulfillment and Paul Roberts as Domestic Sales Administration Manager.

Carolyn Hommer brings ten plus years of management experience from Trendwest Resorts in a variety of departments including Financial Services and IT. During her time at Trendwest, she was highly recognized for her contribution as recipient of Manager of the Year for three successive years and IT Employee of the Year. Hommer’s expertise in customer service, inside sales, credit and accounts receivable, will no doubt be an asset for her current position with LOUD. In her new role, Carolyn will manage the Sales Administration department, with a primary focus on processing new sales orders and working closely with the Sales, Finance and Operations departments.

Paul Roberts, formerly of Symetrix, Inc., a Seattle-based manufacturer of professional audio processing equipment, was highly recommended for his new position with LOUD. As Inside Sales Coordinator at Symetrix for the past 7 years, he worked in all aspects of International and Domestic sales administration. At LOUD Paul will focus solely on Domestic sales administration, and looks forward to managing the Domestic Sales Administration team.

Both Hommer and Roberts will be located at LOUD Technologies’ headquarters in Woodinville, Washington, USA.
