St. Louis Music has announced the promotion of Craig Denny to the newly created position of Vice President, Band & Orchestra. In this new role, Denny will be focusing band and orchestra instruments and accessories into one division, adding to an already impressive list of duties.
“Craig has shown a ‘do what it takes’ attitude throughout his employment here,” said Mark Ragin, CEO and Owner of SLM. “He has been willing to travel, take on new job responsibilities and support management decisions at all times, and we congratulate him on this new position.”
Since joining the SLM team, Denny has led the marketing and sales efforts of P. Mauriat and Zonda to new heights, and he’ll be applying the same focus and strategy to the Knilling and Sebastian orchestral brands, as well as handling budgets, sales goals and the acquisition of new products. He will also continue to visit dealers and work with the inside and outside sales teams on a regular basis.
Denny, himself a virtuoso musician, has been with St. Louis Music since 2010, and he’s an established educator, manager and professional. “Being a part of the team at St. Louis Music is a thrill each and every day,” he said. “We work hard and we have fun doing it; that is a synergy that’s tough to achieve even in the best companies.”
