DPA Microphones Restructures its Management Team

The changes will allow the company to highlight new products and bring its technology to much wider audiences

DPA Microphones has restructured its management team in order to maximize resources and consolidate international sales activity around future new product launches.

The company’s CEO Christian Poulsen says the development of exciting new products scheduled for release in 2014 gave DPA the impetus to examine its internal structure and make changes that play to individual managers’ personal strengths.

“These changes enable us to better support customers and dealers by providing a bridge between product development and sales,” Poulsen says. “They also allow us to create a DPA community, through which we can connect directly with DPA end users and industry opinion formers. They, in turn, will be able to influence future product development and R&D decisions.”

One of the key changes is the appointment of product specialist Mikkel Nymand to the newly created position of Product Manager. Reporting directly to Christian Poulsen, Nymand is now involved in the entire product management chain, from conception right through to development testing, launch and after sales maintenance.  His role is also to ensure smooth communication, internally and externally, about the status of new and existing products and to provide a link between sales, marketing and development. He also plays an active role in new product development and is responsible for operating products during launch events.
