JL Audio, an audio solutions supplier for the RV, auto and marine markets, promoted Ora Freeman to Vice President of OEM sales for North America.
Andy Oxenhorn, JL Audio president, said Freeman showed tenacious ability to sell the company’s vision to OEM customers.
“His enthusiasm, knowledge and hard work have opened a lot of exciting doors for JL Audio,” Oxenhorn said. “As vice president of OEM sales, Ora’s forward thinking will help us define winning strategies to keep JL Audio ahead of the curve for many years to come.”
Freeman joined JL Audio’s OEM marine team in 2015. At the time he joined, the company was building momentum in the category. In 2016, Ora took leadership of the company’s OEM sales team and began to add key personnel. As a result of Ora’s vision, leadership and the team he built, JL Audio more than tripled its direct OEM accounts and climbed to the top of the category.
Freeman said the company’s brand is built on maximizing individual’s enjoyment of pastimes.
“Whether it is off-roading in a side-by-side or UTV, watching the latest blockbusters in a home theater, or spending the weekend out on the water with friends and family,” Freeman said, “a powerful JL Audio sound system makes doing what you love markedly better.”
Freeman said in his new position he will continue to build and coach the OEM sales team, strengthening OEM relationships through service and products.
