An audio and music product industry pioneer with more than 30 years of experience, Ken Berger currently runs a product development and marketing consulting firm. During those 30 years, Berger distinguished himself as one of a tiny handful of entrepreneurs who created and developed a high-end professional audio brand, EAW, and took it to $50M in annual revenue.Before co-founding VUE Audiotechnik, I held the Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Development position at LOUD Technologies Inc., one of the world’s largest professional audio and musical instrument manufacturers and distributors. At LOUD, he was responsible for the strategic direction and marketing for iconic brands, including Ampeg, Alvarez, EAW, Mackie, Crate, and Tapco.Before his tenure at LOUD, Ken Berger demonstrated his entrepreneurial skills as the founder and CEO of UCI, a web portal company that created ProSoundWeb.com and Live-Audio.com. These platforms became the largest online communities serving the live sound and recording industries, a testament to Ken’s ability to create and lead successful ventures. Ken Berger's expertise in media communication technology was further demonstrated during his tenure as a content Creation tool Industry Advisor for investment bank Silverwood Partners LLC (Media Communication Technology 2008 - 2010) and TCGN, Inc. - Technology Capital Generation 2007 - 2009. In these roles, he provided valuable insights and guidance, contributing to the success of these organizations.However, Berger’s most significant contribution to the professional audio industry was his founding of EAW (Eastern Acoustic Works) in 1978. The company grew to become one of the world’s leading suppliers of loudspeakers for concerts (Erik Clapton to Motley Crue) and major installations (Fenway Park to St. Peters Square). As founder and CEO, Ken was responsible for all aspects of the operation — including finance, sales, marketing, and manufacturing — up until his sale of the brand in 2001.
