Audigy Group Announces New President: Mason Walker

In a surprise announcement that brought the crowd to its feet with an overwhelmingly positive response, Audigy Group Founder and CEO Brandon Dawson promoted Executive Vice President Mason Walker to President of Audigy Group. The announcement was made onstage at the company's annual Fall Summit in Las Vegas, Nev.

Dawson explained his decision: "Mason's leadership, his passion, his loyalty, and his fundamental understanding and operating vision for the organization is an example for others to follow. He earned respect by being an example to others, not only internal AG staff members, but our business partners, strategic relationships, and, most importantly, our Members and their teams. He has always executed at the fullest of his ability, grinding and pushing the company to success. I have never before had the privilege of working with a person like Mason. He exemplifies all of my core values, the core values of our organization, and its Members."

Walker's response to his promotion was no less glowing. "In seven short years, I've gone from AG's first employee, handling our first inbound call, to Audigy's President. To be acknowledged and honored in this way is humbling beyond belief."

"Audigy Group is so much more than a job," continued Walker, "it's a way of life. I'm proud to be President of a group that supports and provides resources to the nation's elite, independent hearing care providers. Our Members are the future of audiology, and I'm excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for them and for Audigy's ability to get them to where they want to be personally, professionally, and financially. It's been—and will continue to be—an incredible adventure. I look forward to continue working closely with Brandon. His leadership, vision, and influence are vital to AG."

When asked about the specifics of his role at Audigy Group, Dawson responded, "I will still be responsible for the strategic direction and governance of Audigy Group as Founder, CEO, and Managing Member, and will spend my time nurturing, directing, and developing the core team. Mason, Controller Chris Roberts, and the rest of our leadership will be responsible for the continued development of their teams. Mason was, and is, integral to Audigy's success. He has earned every position he has ever had here at Audigy."

"This organization," said Walker, "is an opportunity for everyone involved. It stands for a real, necessary purpose. It's who we are. It's something to stand up for. And I believe in it."
