Ampetronic and Listen Technologies bolsters leadership team

Listen Technologies and Ampetronic have elevated their executive leadership team through two new appointments, with Kevin Jewkes promoted to senior vice president of global revenue, while Alan Kennedy has been named vice president of operations.

According to both companies, these appointments reflect their continued growth, investment in the future of the organisation and commitment to providing flexible, scalable and easy-to-use assistive listening and inclusive audio solutions.

In their new roles, both Jewkes and Kennedy will report directly to Ampetronic | Listen Technologies president and CEO Maile Keone. “By strengthening our executive leadership team, we are building the foundation needed to scale globally, accelerate innovation, deepen customer and partner relationships, and advance our mission to make clear, accessible audio available to everyone.”

As senior vice president of global revenue, Jewkes is responsible for Ampetronic | Listen Technologies’ overall sales strategy, sales operations, team leadership and global go-to-market execution across international markets. He strengthens and grows channel and partnership programmes and works with the chief marketing officer to align campaigns and brand investment with sales execution. He also collaborates with product management to ensure customer and market insights inform product strategy.

Since joining Listen Technologies in 2013, Jewkes has held sales roles with increasing leadership responsibility. Prior to this promotion, he served as chief of staff, working as a trusted advisor and proxy for Keone.

“I’ve spent years working alongside this sales team in one capacity or another – at trade shows, with customers, behind the scenes on strategy – and I’ve had a front-row seat to what they’re capable of. Getting the chance to lead them means a great deal to me. I’m excited to see, and help drive, the continued growth of Ampetronic | Listen Technologies, this team and the incredible partners we work with.”

In his new position, Kennedy is responsible for the strategy, performance and scalability of the organisation’s operational engine. He is tasked with ensuring that supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, quality, facilities and IT operate as a unified system to reliably deliver products, support growth and meet customer commitments.

Prior to his appointment, Kennedy led strategy and business development initiatives in the real estate and energy sectors. According to the manufacturers, Kennedy’s background and experience are well-suited to translating company and product strategy into operational architecture that will enable the organisation to scale efficiently.

“I’m proud to join Ampetronic | Listen Technologies and help strengthen the operational backbone for a company whose mission is making sure people can hear in the moments that count,” noted Kennedy.
