Shure Elevates José A. Rivas to Vice President of Global Sales

NILES, Ill., April 10, 2023 — Shure has announced that José A. Rivas has been named to the position of Vice President of Global Sales. 

Since joining Shure in 2004, Rivas has held several positions of increasing responsibility and geographic coverage, including Sales and Marketing Director of the International Americas Business Unit, Sales Director of the Americas Business Unit, Managing Director of the Latin America Sales Organization and most recently as Vice President of Sales for Emerging Markets.

Rivas has an in-depth understanding of Shure’s U.S. business and championed key changes to its sales policies and go-to-market strategies.
