What I Do at Dolby
Basically, I'm responsible for the marketing strategy and deployment of our multichannel audio technologies—at the moment, Dolby® Volume, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD—through our partners to the consumer electronics industry.
I've been part of this industry for over two decades. Prior to joining Dolby, I was Toshiba's point person for the promotion and launch of DVD-Video in the US. I've also worked for Sony's largest distributor and in commercial audio retail management.
