POTTERS BAR, U.K. – Bruno Hochstrasser has returned from semi-retirement and will serve as general manager for Harman's Studer. He reports to Andy Trott (VP and general manager, Mixing and Microphones & Headphones).
Hochstrasser joined Studer in 1971 and played a key role in Studer's commanding presence in the recording studio tape machine market, serving, among other roles, as the product manager for the launch of the A800 in 1978.
In 1990, Bruno became president of Studer. During the 1990s, the company reinvented itself following the demise of tape, and Hochstrasser led Studer into today's digital era.
A little less than two years ago, Hochstrasser opted for semi-retirement, but remained connected with the company as a brand ambassador, mainly in the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
"Bruno is today's Mister Studer," said Trott. "He has remained proud and loyal to Studer for over 40 years, and I'm delighted he has succumbed to me tempting him out of retirement."
