In his new role, Olivier will be responsible for managing the day to day direct manufacturer to channel partner relationship for the company’s diverse portfolio of live sound products and solutions.
Roure, a 20-plus year veteran of the professional audio industry, holds a mechanical engineering (BTS) from Lycée Claude Lebois. A native of France, Roure moved to the U.S. where he lived in New Jersey for more than 24 years. He started his career in music working at stores including Sam Ash in the metro Philadelphia area. Afterwards, he was owner of Ozone Recording, a production company with recording studios above Studio 54 in NYC and in New Jersey, working with major record labels including Arista and Elektra. In the service of audio manufacturers, Roure managed technical accounts on the east coast for Loud Technologies and held a 12-year tenure at Harman as Director of Sales for JBL, various positions at AKG and Soundcraft, and Director of Harman’s Large Venue and Sports Division. Most recently, Roure served as principal of Roure Consulting.
“QSC is a company which is considered the gold standard in our industry,” says Olivier. “The company and I share the same fundamental values in that everyone involved all down the line on a project is our customer, and it’s our role to see that they are satisfied with the results. This is what makes the company the right place for me. It feels very natural to join QSC and I am excited about the future.”
“We are very excited to have Olivier join the Live Sound Team. He brings a wealth of valuable experience to his new role at QSC, both technically and through his reputation as a highly-respected professional across our industry,” adds Perry Celia, Senior Director of U.S. Sales, Americas for QSC Live Sound. “I am confident that our ability to serve our customers in the region will be enhanced by his efforts and look forward to working closely with him in his new role.”
