Wiessburg’s emphasis will be on CE, but he will also be involved in the company’s musical instruments and pro audio businesses, a spokesman added.

Weissburg will report directly to chairman and CEO, Henry Juszkiewicz.

Weissburg left D&M Holdings last year, having served as president of sales and marketing for the Americas. He oversaw Denon, Marantz, Boston Acoustics, McIntosh and D&M Professional products. Before joining D&M, he held executive positions at Sony, including president of the consumer sales group and SVP of strategic planning for sales.
