MONTREAL, QUEBEC announces the engagement of Bruce Jones to the
Sonomax team as Vice President of Sales and Product Marketing. Mr.
Jones has a strong sales background, boasting a successful 18 year
career at Future Electronics where, in the course of his tenure, he
advanced to the management of a large part of the US and Canadian
sales organization, including responsibility for 260 people, 18
locations and in excess of $300M in sales revenue. Mr. Jones
ultimately rose to the position of Senior Vice President of Global
Product Marketing, where he managed over 550 people on three
continents and all of the product marketing activities of the
company. Future Electronics is a multi billion dollar enterprise,
with over 5000 employees and over 150 locations worldwide.
After leaving Future Electronics, Mr. Jones joined Solectron
Corporation, a Contract Manufacturer of electronic assemblies with
sales of in excess of $10 billion from operations around the world.
While at Solectron he was responsible for Global Sourcing for all
Distribution Procurement and Corporate Component Engineering.
Said Mr. Jones, "Sonomax has developed world class,
patent-protected, high-tech products that are unique, disruptive,
and have applications in mega-markets. My judgment is that we have
in Sonomax an opportunity that doesn't come along too often - an
opportunity to build a true Canadian success story. I have worked
with Dan Casey for over 15 years. He is a marvelous team builder
and I know that he will establish the same synergies at Sonomax
that he has throughout his career. I look forward to working with
him and everyone on the Sonomax team, as well as with our valued
channel partners, to position the company as the pre-eminent
developer and producer of hearing protection solutions, MP3
earphones, communications devices, and an array of other products
that will come alive when married to Sonomax's expansion
technology."
Sonomax CEO Dan Casey stated, "Bruce is a proven sales and
product marketing veteran; we consider ourselves fortunate that he
made the decision to join Sonomax. His North American sales
experience in the industrial sector is certain to accelerate sales
in our core business - advanced hearing protection and
proof-of-performance testing."
"At Future Electronics, Bruce became expert in understanding and
managing the intricacies of distribution, particularly in the
context of a complex sales process. He will make good use of this
skill-set to closely manage and achieve robust sales growth through
Sonomax's licensee network worldwide. At Future, he was called upon
to execute 'product design in' engineering sales with customers in
North America and manage the process of 'booking the order' in Asia
where the manufacturing was located, often through a sales force
that was not under his direct control. He is uniquely qualified to
take Sonomax to a position of quarter-over-quarter sales growth and
create a structure and process that will ensure execution of the
company's short-term goals, with the ultimate objective of
achieving the kind of result we did as a team at Future
Electronics."
In Conjunction with the appointment of Mr. Jones as Vice
President of Sales and Product Marketing, Sonomax granted a stock
option to Mr. Jones in respect of 400,000 common shares at an
