Because of growth spurred by products such as the new Fluence™ pickups and TriplePlay® Wireless Guitar Controller, Fishman has added John Polino and Gary Lopez to its sales force.
A guitarist and vocalist, Polino is a 23-year veteran of the Boston music scene and comes to Fishman from First Act Inc., where he spent the last six years as a warehouse manager, sales sample coordinator, consumer relations manager and product manager.
Gary Lopez is a New England based vocalist/guitarist who’s also been involved with music industry retail sales for over two decades working with Daddy’s Junky Music and Cambridge Soundworks.
Commenting on the new hires, Bill Norton, VP of retail sales, said, “We are genuinely happy to have these two very skilled sales representatives working for us as Fishman is continuing to grow at an amazing pace. John and Gary bring a high level of expertise into our new category entries including TriplePlay and Fluence electric guitar pickups.”
