Starkey President and CEO. Hearing technology so intelligent, it’s superhuman. Now, Starkey’s era of excellence without exception continues.

As the President and CEO of Starkey, the global leader in advanced hearing technology, we are setting the speed of innovation. I started working in Starkey’s hearing aid repair department more than 30 years ago, and I’ve worked in virtually every corner of the business since, learning each aspect of the hearing industry, including what patients and hearing professionals expect from the technology

we create. My vision for Starkey and our more than 5,000 employees around the world is not to be the biggest; it is to be the best. That starts with product performance, quality, and on-time delivery with the best customer service in the industry. Most recently, Starkey announced the world’s most cutting-edge hearing aid and set a new standard once again. From life-changing health monitoring features to industry-leading sound quality powered by AI, Omega AI is providing superhuman hearing that's more efficient and more powerful than ever before. This innovation is in line with our vision that five years from now, we’ll be ten years ahead. To be the best, you must focus on your vision and be true to your purpose in every decision you make. At Starkey, our purpose is to build caring products that connect people through better hearing. It all starts with caring. There is a ripple effect to caring. If you know that your products will change the world one person at a time, you will take the care to craft each device. If you know every touch point with a customer means another person will be connected to the world around them, you will have second-to-none customer service. From the technology we develop to the trust we build with hearing professionals around the world, it all starts and ends with caring at the core. This is the only way to do business. I believe in the power of kindness. Through Starkey’s corporate social responsibility program, Starkey Cares, our team has partnered with more than 2,500 hearing health professionals around the nation to get hearing technology to people in need. At Starkey, we are legacy built, future driven – we see the future long before it arrives.

32 years ago, I started an internship at Starkey Hearing.

I didn't realize it at the time, but that decision would change the course of my career and the trajectory of my life.

From intern to CEO, it's a path I've enjoyed every step of the way.

I'm grateful for the team, customers and patients who have made this journey so rewarding, and am excited to see what we can accomplish together next.
