Sweetwater has announced the retirement of Marc Leveridge, the company’s chief financial officer since 1998, effective December 26, 2016.
Mr. Leveridge has been in the audio/music industry since joining Altec Lansing in Oklahoma City in 1979, which was under ownership by Altec Corporation, then Gulton Industries, and Mark IV Industries. He joined Harman International in 1996, and was hired by Sweetwater founder and president Chuck Surack in 1998.
During Leveridge’s 18-year tenure, the company has experienced steady and substantial growth. Sweetwater is now the No. 1 online retailer of music instruments and audio gear in the U.S.
Surack said, “From the first moment I met Marc, I felt the greatest admiration and respect for his professionalism and knowledge of the audio and music business. He’s played a crucial role in the company’s phenomenal growth and we will miss him immensely.”
Leveridge remarked, “I will always cherish my years with Sweetwater, working with Chuck and the incredible team he’s built over the years. It has been a real honor to play a role in Sweetwater’s success.”
He plans to remain in Fort Wayne with his wife, Kristi, where their grandchildren reside, though they look forward to traveling and to more frequent and longer trips to the Florida panhandle.
