Powersoft, the world leader in lightweight and energy efficient amplifier platforms, announced that it has appointed industry veteran Tom Knesel to the position of General Manager, North America. Knesel, who will be located at the company's U.S. headquarters in Kearny, NJ and who will start on October 7th, will report directly to Luca Giorgi, Sales & Business Development Director, Powersoft. The announcement follows the successful relocation of Powersoft's North American headquarters two years ago, and coincides with the company's increased focus on the systems integration market and launch of the Mezzo amplifier platform earlier this year.
