I joined Naim to transition the company from its niche Hi-Fi proposition to a highly visible brand in the new dynamic world of connected home audio. The mission was to successfully launch new product categories into mainstream retailers and to the attention of global media, without distraction to the high-end nature of the existing range.
Accountable at board level for the Vervent Audio Group with a turnover in excess of €100m. This role has taken me beyond my marketing roots, adding full P&L accountability for end-to-end business units such as the Naim Mu-so product category, encompassing sales management, operations, logistics and product lifecycle management.
