In this role, Goldstein will oversee the company’s relationships with audio and video integrators and help build on Sony’s 30-year history of developing high-performance home technology products.
“Jeff is a seasoned industry veteran with a lengthy track record of building close industry collaborations and enabling partner success,” says Dunja La Rosa, head of U.S. sales at Sony Electronics. “His leadership will be a great asset to Sony as we expand our portfolio of products and services for the custom integration channel.
Goldstein brings decades of Sony experience to the position and helped define Sony Electronics’ custom integration channel strategy in the early days of the industry. In his previous 24-year tenure at Sony, Goldstein held numerous executive-level positions, including director of sales for the Consumer Integrated Systems division, as well as vice president of marketing for the company’s Home Audio/Video and Television divisions.
After leaving Sony in January 2013, he has served as a strategic consultant to various custom installation and optical companies, including Bowers & Wilkins, helping to expand their distribution channels and refine customer engagement.
