Dual Electronics Mourns Passing of Clyde Podraza

Heathrow, FL (February 4, 2022) – Dual Electronics Corporation announced today that 12Volt industry veteran Clyde Podraza passed away on February 2.  Clyde spent more than 25 years in the 12V industry.  Starting his career at Motorola, he then moved on to work in executive positions at Panasonic, International Jensen, Recoton, Dual Electronics, and AAMP Global.  Clyde was one of the founding partners at Dual Electronics and spent a decade as a top executive there.

Jim Braun, President of Dual Electronics said “I worked alongside Clyde for almost 20 years.  He was a pillar of the 12Volt industry during his time with Jensen and Dual.  Clyde was one of the original founders of Dual Electronics, and we would certainly not be where we are today without the monumental efforts and influence Clyde brought to the marketplace.”  Braun added, “More important than this, he was just a genuinely great person.  Clyde would do almost anything to help any one of his large network of friends and colleagues.  I’m going to miss Clyde, as I know many will.”

Clyde spent the last several years of his career at AAMP Global prior to retiring in 2020. Scott Forst, President and CEO of AAMP Global added “I personally started at AAMP with Clyde, and I couldn’t have been luckier to learn from such a wonderful and talented person.   He spread his knowledge and joy to everyone at AAMP and he will be greatly missed.”

Clyde is survived by his wife of 44 years, Marj, his three grown children and three grandchildren.
