Lawo has announced that Jamie Dunn, who joined the company in 2011 and has served as chief commercial officer (CCO) since 2019, is taking on additional responsibilities as “Vorstand” (board member) and deputy CEO where he is assuming legal responsibility alongside CEO Philipp Lawo and Claus Gärtner, who joined the company as CFO and “Vorstand” last November.
“With Claudia Nowak’s retirement in September of this year, it was important to bring a strong representation of the customer and market perspective to the ‘Vorstand’ role,” states Gärtner.
Dunn adds, “It has been an incredible experience over the past 13 years to contribute to the strong growth and transformation of this market-leading company. During this time, our global brand has been a leading advocate for the industry’s shift to IP. The longevity of Lawo rests on many pillars, but talented and passionate people remain the key element to our continued success and loyal customer base.
“Innovation has always been at the core of our development philosophy, and the story of our media infrastructure solutions is resonating strongly in the marketplace, putting us in prime position to address the commercial and workflow challenges our customers face today. I am honored to continue to play a key leadership role and represent the company in the next chapter of Lawo’s growth and development.”
Trained as a classical recording engineer and a qualified “Tonmeister” bachelor, Dunn spent the early part of his career traveling the world and working with noted musicians. After moving to the manufacturer’s side of the business, his technical knowledge combined with his sales experience, saw him take on numerous global sales leadership roles in both Europe and the U.S. at Lawo.
