DPA Microphones has announced the appointment of Thomas Frederiksen as its new vice president of sales for the APAC region.

Frederiksen will head up DPA’s regional office in Hong Kong, which was opened in 2013 to support the company’s sales partners throughout Asia.

Commenting on his appointment, DPA’s CEO Kalle Hidvt Nielsen, comments: “I am very pleased to have Thomas on board. APAC is a very important region for DPA. I know that, with his strong background in the pro audio market and his extensive experience in Asia, and in particular Japan, he will help drive the APAC team to develop even closer links with our distributors, dealers and customers across the region.”

A fluent Japanese speaker and formerly managing director of Shure Japan, Frederiksen is already a familiar face to many in the live sound, installation and pro audio industries. Throughout his career he has held senior sales and management positions for a range of high-profile companies, including a four-year tenure at Bruel & Kjaer, the company that was the forerunner of DPA microphones.
