Oxford, UK, September 19, 2025 — Solid State Logic announces that it has appointed CJ Lewis to the position of National Sales Manager, Western U.S., where he is responsible for SSL, Harrison Audio and Slate Digital ACP (Audio Creation Product) solutions. In his new role, Lewis joins SSL’s US-based distributor, Group One Ltd. as part of expanding its business development and customer relationships, reporting to Rick Naqvi, Senior VP of USA Sales.

Lewis, who is based in Denver, CO, brings more than two decades of sales management and product expertise to his role. Prior to starting with SSL, he has worked as a regional sales manager for Mackie, as a partner for pro audio rep firm the Marshank Group, as a studio and live musician, and as a worship mentor. In the retail domain, Lewis also served as a sales manager for GC Pro for several years.

In his new role at SSL, Lewis will be focused on expanding the SSL, Harrison and Slate Digital partner and customer network in the western United States by interfacing with partners and dealers, hosting a myriad of events and trainings, and supporting existing facilities with SSL products.

"Throughout my audio career, I've approached studio problem-solving through strong relationships with others, always building meaningful human connections and fostering a team culture that thrives on collaboration," says Lewis. "Now, I am thrilled to have an opportunity to leverage SSL’s exceptional audio solutions with the goal of expanding its customer base even further."

From a product perspective, Lewis will focus on SSL's entire ACP line, which includes interfaces, controllers, rack equipment and 500 Series units - as well as the company's recording consoles, including ORIGIN. In addition, he will support Harrison and Slate Digital solutions, including Slate's digital modeling microphones.

Lewis says he was drawn to the opportunity at SSL because of the brand’s legacy, innovation and market strengths, as well as Rick Naqvi, who he worked alongside during the early 2000's in another role. "The team here is absolutely top-notch, and I look forward to learning and contributing in my new role as National Sales Manager, Western U.S."
