RODE’S NEW CEO
13 December 2016
Rode’s Sales & Marketing Director has been promoted to CEO of the Freedman Electronics Group, home to Rode Microphones, Aphex, Event Electronics and most recently, SoundField.
Damien will be responsible for everyday management of the Group’s business, allowing Founder and MD Peter Freedman more opportunity to focus on his passions for the companies — things like product conception and development, manufacturing innovation, brand acquisition, and personal representation for the group internationally. Peter also plans to deepen his advocacy for Australian manufacturing and export.
Prior to Rode, Damien Wilson worked as Creative Director at boutique advertising agencies The Shop and Peer Group. He joined the Rode team in 2007 as marketing manager, and was soon promoted to Global Sales & Marketing Director. Recent years have seen Wilson become more involved with product design and development, industrial design, production, sourcing, dispatch, and global presence.
“Damien is the perfect person to help me guide the company through a very exciting time in our 50-year history,” says Peter Freedman. “He’s extremely talented and a proven Rode warrior – dedicated, creative, solution-oriented, exceptionally hard-working and an excellent communicator with team members, customers and stakeholders.”
