We are pleased to welcome Jan Patrick Frieding as a member of the Optik Industry Advisory Board. At Optik, our Industry Advisory Board exists to keep the program deeply connected to industry needs and trends, and open meaningful pathways for interns, alumni, industry partners, and the stakeholders in our ecosystem. Jan brings deep experience across medical devices, hearing aid technology, systems engineering, and acoustics. More importantly, he brings a genuine commitment to developing people. As Jan puts it: “Building people is what I do for free. Countless people have been generous with me, so it’s time to give back, and Optik has caught my eye!” That spirit sits right at the heart of Optik. Optik is not just about creating impactful internships. It is about creating the spaces for interns to grow into capable, confident, and industry-ready engineering and business leaders. We are inspired by the company we keep, and grateful to have people like Jan walking alongside Optik as we continue to scale our impact. More Industry Advisory Board members to be announced soon. Thank you, Jan, for your generous in-kind contribution to Optik and to the next generation of leaders. #Optik #WorkIntegratedLearning #IndustryEngagement #EngineeringEducation #BusinessEducation #Leadership #Mentoring #UTS
