Van Scoy, reporting to Manabu Aoki, Audio-Technica U.S. CEO and president, joined Audio-Technica U.S. in 1987, transferred to a subsidiary, then returned in 1995. He has worked in roles spanning several departments, including Engineering, Production, Quality, and Product Management.

His knowledge of our products, combined with his intimate understanding of Audio-Technica’s global structure, as well as the leadership skills he has displayed, have earned him this promotion to VP & Officer.”
