Q-SYS Promotes Duncan Savage to Vice President and General
Manager APAC
Q-SYS, a division of QSC, EMEA GmbH, announced the promotion of Duncan Savage to Vice
President and
General Manager, APAC. Concurrently, after five years of dedicated service, William Chan,
Managing
Director & Senior Director, North Asia, will retire in July 2024. The Q-SYS brand has been built
over several years in the APAC region, and the company has seen tremendous success and growth as a
result. With the appointment of Duncan Savage, Q-SYS is further investing in the region, enabling
regional development and new business opportunities.
Duncan joined the company in 2017 as Managing Director, UK, and under his leadership, the UK
organisation has grown well beyond its initial scope, now reaching end customers in corporate and
higher education segments and covering the Q-SYS markets in the Nordics, Eastern Europe, Southern
Europe, and EMEA cinema. Duncan's vision has been a critical part of the team's growth, from the
inaugural London showroom to the globally acclaimed 'Architect' training program, culminating in the
launch of the EMEA region's first Q-SYS Experience Centre. He has also led the team in establishing
direct business relationships with key accounts, collaborating with local distributors, and creating
a network of consultants and programmers across Europe.
"Duncan brings with him nearly two decades of experience in the AV industry and a wealth of
knowledge from his work in the European market. His experience and expertise will be invaluable in
orchestrating and leading the local teams, and I look forward to seeing the future continued
development of our business in APAC under his leadership," says Markus Winkler, Executive
Vice
President, EMEA & APAC, Q-SYS.
"As we move into this exciting next chapter, we would like to express our highest appreciation to
William Chan for his dedication over the past five years in building the APAC business to where it
is today. We wish him all the best for his retirement," continues Winkler.
"I'm proud and honoured to be leading the APAC region during this exciting period of growth," says
Duncan. "I look forward to working with our talented regional teams to drive new conversations in
these markets and continue to develop collaboration across the current Q-SYS network in EMEA and the
APAC region."
