JARED CALLISTER
VP OF FINANCE
QSC
WHY: Finance leader at the Costa Mesa-based audio, visual and control firm QSC. Joined in 2013; now oversees efforts in improving the company’s development, distribution of products including loudspeakers, power amplifiers and Q-SYS software.
IN THE NEWS: Callister’s goal to generate $1B in revenue at QSC is closer in reach thanks to its $1.2B sale to Atlanta-based Acuity Brands Inc. completed in January.
NOTABLE: Won Rising Star Award at the Business Journal’s 2025 CFO of the Year Awards due to fueling past decade of growth such as increasing headcount to 900+ employees, establishing new operations in different countries, and company acquisitions. Previously worked at Deloitte as a tax senior manager, where QSC was one of his clients.
QUOTABLE: QSC “had a solid history of growth, a strong ownership group, and a strong leadership group in place. I don’t think those opportunities grow on trees,” he said about transitioning from Deloitte.
