McGinn's goals in coming months include continuing to build sustainable and profitable growth for Shure and giving unified structure to sales and marketing efforts around the world. "This position is exactly what I was looking for," he proclaims. "On a business level, Shure is and has always been impressive, but it's the human element at the company which I feel holds the most potential. I'm impressed by the people I work with--they are really the key to the future."
