About

I believe in passion, appreciation and trust. I'm thrilled about high-technology products, portfolio strategy, business development, leading multicultural and geographically-disperse teams, working with senior board executives and engineer experts. After managing USD millions for a top100 brand, leading growth transformation through operations at a music hardware start-up, I now put my head, heart, hands and guts into audio systems B2B sales, marketing and business development.
