After 15 years in the corporate world with industry giants like Sony and Hewlett-Packard, I made the life-changing decision to turn my lifelong passion for music and high-fidelity sound into a career. A die-hard audiophile since the age of 15, I embraced the opportunity to join Innuos in 2016, helping the young startup grow into a globally recognized name in digital audio. Along the way, I developed a deep interest in the emerging field of DSP-controlled active loudspeakers—a direction that felt like the natural evolution of high-end audio. After nine years at Innuos, the chance to work with Kii Audio came at just the right time. Having followed Bruno Putzeys’ groundbreaking work for years, joining Kii, where innovation is at the heart of everything, was an easy and exciting decision. Today, being part of Kii Audio feels like contributing to the future of sound reproduction, where bold ideas and cutting-edge technology shape the way we listen.
