USA/England: Jim Bowie Retires as CEO of Electrosonic

Electrosonic, one of the leading specialists for AV (audio-visual) systems, recently announced the resignation of Jim Bowie, who will step down from his current position as CEO of California-based Electrosonic, Inc. in June this year, when he celebrates his 30^th anniversary with the company. Executive Chairman of the Board, Steve Leyland, will lead the worldwide group until a new CEO is appointed.

Bowie joined Electrosonic’s headquarters as an engineer in 1987 and moved to the US in 1992 to open the company’s California flagship office. After his resignation he will remain engaged with the company as a senior adviser to the Board of Electrosonic Group. “We’re coming off an exceptional year in 2016, with a great backlog for 2017. We have a very strong foundation, a very powerful leadership team, and a lot of talent, including young talent, which is so gratifying. I’m looking forward to seeing what the team will achieve in this next chapter of the Electrosonic story,” said Bowie.

Bryan Hinckley will be promoted to President of Electrosonic, Inc. and Sarah Joyce will continue her role as Managing Director of Electrosonic, Ltd. (eap)
