Bio
Adam Sohmer
After serving as Russound's public relations representative from 2006 to 2018, I can honestly say there was a clear and significant leap forward in terms of both product development and brand marketing when Colin Clark joined in 2014. His energy and unshakable focus on his work make him one of the most productive senior executives I've had the pleasure to work with over the past 30 years. Colin's work ethic, detailed knowledge of the audio industry, and dizzying ability to effectively multi-task on a daily basis are matched only by the humor and empathy he bring to his role as a team leader.

I worked with Colin as the Director of User Experience and Marketing while he was Marketing Manager and then Director of Product Development at Russound. Colin's breadth of industry knowledge and expertise is impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him as we successfully brought many products to market. Colin's dedication to the company is apparent as he is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that a project stays on track. Any employer would be lucky to have him. Russound's product relevancy the market would not the the same without Colin. From designing products based on dealer input to keeping them on track and on budget, Colin has been a key asset to Russound's success.
