Eventide Audio has announced that Russell Wedelich has been named President, in addition to his current role as CTO. Wedelich, who has been instrumental in developing some of Eventide’s most celebrated products over the past 17+ years, will lead operations for the audio business.
Eventide Managing Director Tony Agnello along with founder Richard Factor announced Wedelich’s appointment, commenting, “We’re both proud and grateful to pass the presidential baton to Russell. Richard and I are confident in his ability to steer the Good Ship Eventide long into our shared future.”
In his new role, Wedelich will oversee all aspects of Eventide Audio’s business while continuing to guide the company’s technical direction.

“From the day I set foot into this magical factory of sound and engineering, I’ve shared an obsession with the same curiosity, artistry, and innovation that began with Richard and Tony in the studio basement and has changed the course of music history. Over the years, I’ve seen these values iterated throughout the code, the hardware, the products, and most importantly the people who’ve worked here. I’m honored to lead this team and excited about the products we’re cooking up. Stay tuned.” — Russell Wedelich
