LEEDS, UK — Nugen Audio (www.nugenaudio.com) has promoted Patxi Monedero to chief technology officer, taking over the role from the company’s previous CTO, Charles Blessing, who accepted the position of CEO last November. In his new executive-level position, Monedero will be tasked with overseeing the technological challenges of product development for the company. He will incorporate his knowledge and decade of experience with Nugen into his new role as leader of its engineering department.
A member of the Audio Engineering Society, Monedero graduated from The University of Leeds with a degree in physics. He joined Nugen Audio directly after graduating and has been a part of the team for 10 years, most recently serving as the company’s senior software engineer.
“Patxi has long been a dedicated member of the Nugen Audio engineering team, and I know that he is the perfect person to take over this role,” says Blessing. “Building off Patxi’s expertise, Nugen Audio will continue delivering groundbreaking solutions that serve all corners of the audio production industry ― from broadcast and film to music and immersive sound.”
“I am grateful to be promoted to CTO,” says Monedero. “Nugen has made it possible for me to combine my technical skills with my love for music and sound. This perfect crossover of interests, along with the way Charles and Paul (Tapper, Nugen’s co-founder) have invested in me, has made the evolution of my career over this past decade very rewarding. I look forward to a long and productive future at Nugen.”
