April 2023 Movers & Shakers

Blaze Audio, manufacturer of professional solutions for commercial audio applications and a subsidiary of Pascal A/S of Copenhagen, Denmark, announced the addition of two new regional sales managers. Jill Levine will serve as the regional sales manager, West, while Richard Wallace assumes the position of Southeast regional sales manager. Levine will be stationed from Heber City, Utah (near Salt Lake City) while Wallace is based in Pensacola, Fla. Both Levine and Wallace started with Blaze Audio in March 2023 and report to Kevin Wilkin, Blaze Audio’s executive sales director for North America.

In their new roles with Blaze Audio, both Levine and Wallace will be responsible for building new and maintaining previously established long-term relationships with dealers, consultants, and end-users. This involves coordinating sales, account and rep firm management to ensure growth within each territory, as well as in-person product demonstration and training at tradeshows and similar events. Levine’s territory encompasses the western U.S. — everything from the Rocky Mountains westward. The territory under Richard Wallace’s domain includes Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Both Levine and Wallace bring a wealth of skills and experience to their new positions with Blaze Audio. Prior to starting with Blaze Audio, Levine served as the Western regional sales manager for TeachLogic of Longmont, CO, a manufacturer of wireless microphones and audio systems designed for the education market. Before TeachLogic, she spent 20 years in multiple roles with SoundTube/MSE.

Before joining the Blaze Audio team, Wallace served as sales manager for Pro Sound & Video of Pensacola, Fla. and account manager for ID Systems of Northwest Fla. Additionally, Wallace managed national sales for installed sound at Burlington, Mass.-based Avid Technology as well as being the director of sales for Sound Bridge Acoustic Labs of Dallas, Texas.
