Morag MacPherson Joins Orbital Sound as Vice President

Orbital Sound reports that it has appointed acclaimed entertainment industry professional Morag MacPherson as vice president of its US company with immediate effect. Morag joins Orbital at an important stage in its evolution and will be working closely with International managing director Chris Headlam to position the company's successful brand in the US market. Her outstanding track record and extensive theatrical experience will help drive Orbital forward, with the goal of becoming one of North America's leading theatrical touring and resident theatre sound system suppliers.

Headlam explains, "Morag brings a new dimension to Orbital as a recognized force in the theatrical world. Morag is extremely well-versed in all things audio as well as commanding immense respect within theatre production, and she will be a great hands-on ambassador for Orbital. Morag has literally grown up in the business, mentored by her father, the late and highly respected theatrical manager and producer George MacPherson. We are hugely excited to bring her into our team at such an early stage in our development -- she is going to play a vital role in helping us achieve our ambition to become a key supplier in the theatre sound industry."

MacPherson has a long history in theatrical production, specifically in road management, all of which prepared her for later appointments that included director of programming for Broadway Across America, director of professional and international licencing for Theatrical Rights Worldwide, and director of industry relations at Masque Sound.

MacPherson says, "Orbital Sound is one of the most respected names in the international theatrical audio industry, and helping the firm establish its brand in the US market is an exciting challenge. It is an absolute pleasure to be joining Orbital at such a dynamic period in its growth, and I see my broad background in theatrical production complementing the company's structure and aspirations. Orbital's team is meticulously professional, with an unrivalled skill set in terms of technical expertise, careful project management and practical approach. I believe Orbital has an extremely strong future, and I look forward to contributing to its success."
