JL Audio, maker of high-end audio solutions, announced the appointment of Christy Burnstine as director of its RV OEM sales for North America.
Burnstine comes to JL Audio with more than 25 years of experience selling and servicing OEMs in the RV industry. It began with her family business, Burnstine’s Distributing, where she eventually took the reins as president of the company, which is primarily focused on electrical components from Cooper Bussmann and now EATON, Pass & Seymour, Leviton and more. Most recently she ran her own independent sales firm, CPB Solutions Sales, where she represented brands like Command Electronics, United Shade–a division of Dicor Corp., and Composite Designs. This experience makes her the ideal person to lead JL Audio’s effort to expand their OEM business within the RV segment, the company said. Located in Goshen, Indiana, Burnstine is in the heart of the RV industry.
“The JL Audio brand is well regarded among marine and powersports manufacturers, with a reputation for quality and innovation. I feel today’s RV consumer is looking for a premium audio solution and we are poised to deliver just that,” said Burnstine.
She will report to Ora Freeman, JL Audio’s vice president of OEM sales for North America. “Christy’s addition to the team will provide that additional focus to the motorhome, fifth wheel and travel trailer market and complete the last major piece to our OEM strategy. We now have staff specifically focused on all three of the key areas of recreational OEM business – marine, powersports and RV,” said Freeman.
