Having been recognised with a Rising Star Award at the 2021 AV Awards, and more recently named in the Inavate EMEA 40 under 40, Anna is certainly living up to the accolade, going from strength to strength over the last few years here at Audiologic.
Anna’s passion for audio began during her studies, where she graduated with a first-class degree in Audio Recording and Production. Following a variety of roles, she joined Audiologic 6 years ago in an Application Support Engineer capacity and has gone on to become a key pillar of the award-winning distributor’s technical team in the intervening years.
In her expanded role, Anna will continue to be hands-on and at the heart of the application team, working on a wide range of projects, which includes work for Formula 1 teams, prestigious sports stadia, museums and higher education institutions. Each presenting unique technical challenges and opportunities to leverage her know-how and collaborative approach with integrators, end users and manufacturers.
Anna is relishing the new challenge, commenting: "It’s enormously rewarding to be given the opportunity to take on a more senior role within the team and feel the timing is right for me to leverage my experience here and help take our application team up to the next level as we aim to provide even greater support for our customers."
As a woman in the AV industry - and indeed the first woman on her team (but notably not the last) - Anna is a committed advocate for women in the AV and professional audio industry. An active member of both Women in Live Music and AVIXA Women’s Council, Anna has become a consistent and recognisable voice for inclusion and representation in what has been a traditionally male-dominated industry.
Anna will continue to report to Audiologic's long-standing Senior Technical Manager, Ben Spurgeon. With her stepping up to this new senior role, this allows him to focus more on strategic development and growth initiatives around Audiologic's technical application and customer support expertise.
What we say...
I feel the timing is right for me to leverage my experience here and help take our application team up to the next level as we aim to provide even greater support for our customers.
