Senior Technical Training Manager at Audinate (the company behind Dante) for the EMEA region.
My journey in the AV world started as a Sound engineer touring with all kinds of bands 25 years ago. Some of the steps that followed: project manager for AV technology, AV System designer, photography, videoproduction, network design, Live sound and system integration, lecturer on "Barrierefree acoustics", network technology and almost all topics related to AV, AVIXA freelance trainer (CTS prep, Webinars, NAVS)
At SpinetiX, I drive multichannel comms campaigns and oversee digital marketing, from website management to social media growth. I collaborate in cross-functional initiatives together with the product, support, and development teams to create product documentation. My role also involves directing our digital signage academy with AVIXA-approved courses and developing engaging brand-aligned content, as well as coordinating with internal and external partners to fulfill our marketing strategies. All this, while thriving in a multicultural setting of teammates from across the globe.
Always nosy and searching for exciting and inspiring upcoming technologies, services and people.
"Teaching my skills and my knowledge, sharing my experience with other people, is an unmatchable feeling I don't want to miss again. And, however, to teach or instruct others in our field, you always find new questions and a new point of view. You should never stop learning!" I'm very involved in the AV/IT convergence, specialised in digital video and in IT networks. Since 2010 member of the CTS technical committee and also lecturer in private and governmental universities of applied science in Germany.

Senior Director of Development for AVIXA in EMEA with over 20 years experience in AV and IT industries. Started off in sound engineering in the late 90s then pursued a career in IT. After working in web development I returned to AV and have not looked back! I do at times pine to work more directly with the amazing technology available today to help create great AV experiences but I do get to see them being shared and celebrated! I look forward to seeing many of those examples on the Xchange!
A marketing professional and 20-year AV industry veteran, I am a proud CTS holder and enthusiastic #AVfoodie who is passionate about innovative technologies, design, and all things AV.
I look forward to connecting with you here on Xchange and invite you to join me on LinkedIn as well.
