I see myself as an enthusiastic person with a wide range of knowledge. I have always worked in a technical job at the intersection between development and marketing. I like to come up with solutions that benefit customers and my company in the long term, while guarding profitability. I like to cooperate with my colleagues and share information. I typically shine when solving issues with a team. I have experience with ERP systems, international standards and regulations, R&D departments in three continents, global production and global trade. In ALLDSP I have found a small dedicated team. It is a relatively young, dynamic and enthusiastic company. Because of the size of AllDSP, the line management function will often cross into other functions.

Committee member as treasurer since 2013. I still design and build loudspeakers under the umbrella of my own company. Since November 2016 my name is on a patent for work that I did at Bosch. Specialties: audio engineering, loudspeaker design, mastering engineer, consultant on noise control and practical acoustics. Since 2016 I am named on a patent on a way to mass produce loudspeakers with a printing process.
