Director Global Sustainability | European Commission Climate Pact Ambassador | Expert in Sustainable Events & AV Technology I am dedicated to driving the sustainable transformation of the professional audio-visual, entertainment, and live event industries across Europe and beyond. With over 20 years of leadership experience in pro AV, event technology, and media systems, I combine innovation, policy engagement, and circular economy thinking to enable real change across organizations and sectors. As Director Global Sustainability at d&b audiotechnik GmbH & Co KG, I lead the group’s global sustainability strategy — integrating CSRD, EU Taxonomy, and circular economy principles into every part of our value chain. My mission is to demonstrate that high-performance technology and environmental responsibility can truly coexist. Beyond my corporate role, I actively contribute to shaping international sustainability standards and policy frameworks. I chair the DIN Committee NA 159-01-08 “Sustainable Trade Fair, Congress, and Event Services”, serve as Board Member for Sustainability at the VPLT – The German Entertainment Technology Association, and participate in ISO/PC 250 and ISO/TC 354 — contributing to the development and implementation of ISO 20121:2024, the global standard for sustainable event management. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I promote industry-driven climate action through initiatives linking CSRD, ESPR, and the Digital Product Passport. I am also a founding contributor to the Entertainment Technology Industry Alliance (ETIA) — a European platform uniting manufacturers, service providers, and venues to accelerate sustainability and innovation across the live entertainment sector. I am a member of the Circular Economy Alliance and the European Remanufacturing Council, and collaborate with universities and research institutions such as RWTH Aachen, KIT, and TUM on life-cycle analysis, sustainable materials, and circular production models for the entertainment technology industry. My earlier leadership roles with Panasonic, Avid, and Fairlight provided a strong foundation in innovation management, systems design, and global market development. As a former FIA motorsport race director and active musician (RTTY), I combine precision and creativity in everything I do. Focus Areas: • Sustainability strategy and transformation in AV & live event industries • Circular economy, remanufacturing & carbon management • Standards, certification & sustainable event frameworks (ISO 20121) • Research collaboration & policy development • Thought leadership, education & stakeholder engagement I believe sustainability is not just about compliance — it’s about creating meaningful value for people, planet, and performance.  

Hello 👋 I am a Product Designer, working remotely in bonny Scotland. I have a strong working knowledge of software programs such as Figma and Adobe as well as a love for traditional paper and pen sketching. I like to apply an analytical approach to my work, be bold and ask the awkward questions to get to the route of the problem. I also love working in multi-disciplinary teams, to utilise different skill sets to breakdown complex problems. In my free time, I like to keep active, get some time away from screens and plan my next hike up North with my dog.
