KRELL APPOINTS NEW NORTHWEST REGION ACCOUNT MANAGER
Retail industry vet hired to grow new and existing accounts on the west coast.
Orange, CT — November 2, 2006 — Krell Industries is proud to announce the hiring of Coby Owen to its growing sales force. With the recent introduction and success of their Evolution Series, Krell has enjoyed steady growth and tapped Coby to help facilitate new sales. Mr. Owen will work directly with national sales manager Randy Bingham to bring Krell’s Evolution Series to new dealers while maintaining existing west coast accounts.
Coby joins Krell’s sales force after leaving his previous position as A/V Sales Manager at Magnolia HiFi in Everett, Washington. With four years of industry experience at Magnolia that included multiple trade shows and selling Krell products in the retail market, he brings the knowledge and passion for audio that Krell CEO and founder Dan D’Agostino expects. Coby also attended Central Washington University where he majored in Administrative Management with a concentration on Retail Technology Management.
Coby Owen said, “I first heard of Krell when I started selling their products at a Magnolia store where I was working at the time. I visited their booth during CES 2004 and knew it was a company I’d like to a part of. There are very few opportunities to work for an industry leader in any segment, so when I heard there was an opening at Krell; I gladly relocated to join their sales team.”
“We are very excited to welcome Coby to the Krell family”, stated Bingham. “His industry experience at Magnolia gave him valuable background in the retail market that he will use in his new position. His familiarity with our products is a definite advantage and we are confident Coby will exceed our expectations and represent Krell as the premiere brand in high-end audio/video.”
