I specialize in developing consumer audio products that combine acoustic precision with premium design.
I am an independent consultant with over 28 years of experience in consumer audio electronics, covering engineering, product management, program management, and executive leadership roles with global responsibility.
Throughout my career, I have led international organizations of more than 180 people, built and transformed global engineering teams, and delivered multiple high-complexity products aligned with company strategy.
My professional background includes leadership roles at Foster Electric, Sennheiser, Burmester and Bang & Olufsen. At Sennheiser, I helped create and scale the audiophile headphone business. At Bang & Olufsen, I created and implemented the Atelier Bespoke Program, from initial concept to full production readiness.
