Sound Productions President and CEO Joshua Curlett
Sound Productions, based in Irving, Tex., announces that the company’s President and CEO, Joshua Curlett, has been selected as one of QuantumShift’s Top Entrepreneurs in America for 2019 by KPMG LLP’s Private Markets Group and the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. QuantumShift draws an impressive class of founders, owners and CEOs of private, high growth U.S.-based companies to boost their development through an intensive, five-day learning, networking and collaboration program featuring sessions with Ross School of Business faculty and talented industry professionals.
“This award is really for my entire team. I am humbled to be selected and want all of my team to share in this honor,” says Curlett while discussing the distinction of being chosen for such an elite program. When asked what he hoped to gain, Curlett said “I am excited to learn from other high impact players so I can be the best version of myself. I believe that great leaders help those around them, not just themselves.”
Sound Productions is a major supplier of pro-audio, lighting and video products since 1973. The company also provides backline rental and production services on a regional basis. Joshua Curlett and Sound Productions were selected to be part of the QuantumShift 2019 class by the Michigan Ross QuantumShift Admissions Committee for having demonstrated a strong track record for revenue growth and future growth potential, according to the company release. This collaborative project between KPMG LLP’s Private Markets Group – the U.S. audit, tax and advisory firm – and the University Of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, offers CEOs access to an exclusive peer-to-peer Fellows Network. This Network is focused on ongoing problem solving, development and mentorship, in addition to the intensive program.
“We are thrilled that Joshua Curlett from Sound Productions is part of a select group of entrepreneurs selected to complete the 2019 QuantumShift program,” says Brian Hughes, National Leader, KPMG LLP’s Private Markets Group. “We welcome Curlett into this exclusive fellowship of high-growth business leaders and believe the week-long program at the University of Michigan will have a long-lasting, positive impact on the participating founders and CEOs, and the companies they lead.”
“The QuantumShift program recognizes the achievements of high-growth entrepreneurs who are at the top of their game, and helps them lay groundwork for the future,” says Stewart Thornhill, executive director of the Zell Lurie Institute at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. “We’re looking forward to working with Curlett and Sound Productions, and we are excited to see what they accomplish.”
