Connoisseur Media has announced that Market Manager Robert Dove is set to retire from the company’s Portland cluster later this year, with Mark Handwerger set to replace him.
Dove hired Handwerger to join the team earlier this year as Director of Sales. Handwerger has spent the past 20 years working for other broadcast groups in the market.
“I’m excited about our future here at Connoisseur Portland,” said Handwerger. “The legacy brands we
have in this market are powerful, and we’ll continue to grow their local presence. When you combine
these audio platforms with our Connrex suite of digital solutions, it’s an unbeatable combination for both
listeners and clients. We’re building something special here.”
“Portland is a major part of who we are,” said Connoisseur Media CEO Jeff Warshaw. “It’s a great market with incredible talent and strong brands. Mark’s the right person to lead this next chapter. He understands how to connect with the community and drive results, and that’s exactly what we want in a local leader.”
Mark Handwerger is set to begin his duties as Market Manager on Thursday, October 16th. Dove will serve as an advisory through the end of the year before retiring at the conclusion of 2025.
“These past two years have been a great experience,” Dove shared. “We’ve built a strong team and made meaningful progress in Portland. Mark’s leadership will keep that momentum going as the team continues to grow.”
