Listen Technologies, a provider of assistive listening, multi-language audio transmission and live-streaming audio solutions, has announced the appointment of Mikey Shaffer to the role of consultant liaison.
Shaffer will now work directly with Listen Technologies’ audio visual (AV) consultant community to ensure they are up to date on all Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and global accessibility compliance requirements. Shaffer will also ensure that they are informed about the latest Listen Technologies solutions. She will report to Sam Nord, vice president of global sales.
“The AV consultant community is a vital part of Listen Technologies’ business,” says Nord. “We wanted to provide a dedicated point of contact to accommodate their unique needs. We look forward to Mikey transitioning to this new role and working directly with AV consultants to answer questions, help with project specifications, and offer recommendations for future development.
“Mikey is an outstanding champion for Listen Technologies partners, and I know she will be a great resource to the consultant community.”
Fostering connections
Shaffer began working for Listen Technologies in 2016. In her most recent role with the firm, as western regional sales manager, she led a team selling Listen Technologies solutions through dealers, integrators, manufacturer representative companies, and consultants throughout the Western United States.
Before joining the company, Shaffer worked as a telecommunications professional in Utah, helping low-income deaf and hard-of-hearing persons with their telecommunications needs.
“Mikey has worked with stakeholders throughout the AV industry and understands the unique needs of each group, as well as the big picture,” says Kim Franklin, vice president of global marketing at Listen Technologies. “This perspective, and Mikey’s enthusiasm for learning, being of service, and fostering connections, will benefit Listen Technologies’ consultants and their clients and partners.”
Shaffer adds: “I am pleased to have the opportunity to support Listen Technologies’ broad consultant community in their efforts to create inclusive and accessible spaces for all. I look forward to partnering with our consultant network on a deeper level to ensure Listen Technologies’ products are meeting the needs of our mutual client today and for the future.”
Shaffer will represent Listen Technologies in this new role at InfoComm 2023 in Orlando, where the team will be exhibiting at booth #2961.
