Background

About Douglas Winker

I experience the greatest professional fulfillment when I’m entrusted with autonomy to make a true impact; forging a path to technical distinction; negotiating a deal; helping to accelerate sustainable business success. I have both witnessed and participated in the field of Acoustic Engineering’s evolution over the past 18 years, while advancing to become ETS Lindgren’s Principal Acoustic Engineer; running the company’s related product division. During this time, I have earned recognition as a leading global authority and expert on Anechoic Chambers, Reverberation Chambers, Listening Rooms, Audiometric Encolsures, and related acoustic testing and measurement. At ETS Lindgren I manage our NVLAP-accredited Acoustic Research Laboratory while running the day-to-day operations of our business—building and delivering anechoic, hemi-anechoic, reverberation, noise control, and audiometric chambers for acoustic testing. These can range from hearing-testing booths to loudspeakers—all the way to sophisticated acoustic measurement for large government sector clients. I have gained valuable experience working with Fortune-50 enterprise clients, negotiating agreements with the “who’s who” of worldwide Tech and Telecom sector entities. I’ve led exponential increases in product profit margin attainment while driving global expansion of our business, personally visiting Japan, Hong Kong, Paris, London, Brazil, Mexico, and Canada to help make this possible. My business operations and development frame of reference is deep and broad, and includes extensive experience managing and leading personnel across diverse industries, from specialty retail apparel to high-end car audio, and a leading-edge automotive damping material company. …and today, I welcome contact through LinkedIn.
