Group One Limited, the U.S. distributor for DiGiCo, Solid State Logic, Calrec, and many other pro audio and lighting brands, has announced that it is making several key changes to its management and leadership team.

Austin Freshwater has been appointed as CEO for Group One, in addition to carrying on his current role as Managing Director for DiGiCo. Freshwater originally joined the digital console maker as General Manager in 2017, coming to the brand after a decade spent with Canon. After four years with DiGiCo at its global headquarters in Chessington, UK, he was promoted to the position of Managing Director in 2021. Now, as CEO of Group One, Freshwater will further oversee all sales, marketing, and support teams for each of the distributor’s pro audio and lighting brands across the United States.

In tandem with Freshwater’s appointment, Solid State Logic has appointed Rick Naqvi to the position of Senior Vice President, Sales, where he is responsible for the sales of all SSL hardware products in the United States and Mexico, including recording, broadcast, live, and audio creation products (ACP). Based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Naqvi most recently served as Vice President of Sales for PreSonus Audio Electronics, which he joined in 1995 as one of the company’s first full-time employees nearly 30 years ago.
