BOWERS & WILKINS APPOINTS EX-SAMSUNG PRESIDENT AS CEO
Bowers & Wilkins has named Gregory Lee as Chief Executive Officer while former CEO, Gideon Yu, will remain as Co-Executive Chairman of the company's Board of Directors.
Lee has a proven track record of serving customers throughout his career; beginning with sales and marketing leadership roles while representing top tier brands at Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson.
However, more recently, his experience is rooted in the consumer electronics industry. Most notably, Lee was President & CEO of Samsung Electronics North America as well as Global Chief Marketing Officer of Samsung Electronics.
Bowers & Wilkins Co-Executive Chairman & current CEO Gideon Yu said:
I am extremely excited for Greg to join Bowers & Wilkins as our new CEO and lead the company forward in our next phase of growth. Greg has extensive leadership experience in consumer electronics, a deep knowledge of brand building, and a passion for our products. Bowers & Wilkins is in great hands with Greg, and I could not be more energised about our future.
Gregory Lee added:
I am honoured and excited to join the leadership team at Bowers & Wilkins, a brand that is known for its rich history of quality, design and technology innovations. I'm looking forward to partnering with our dedicated audio customer base to assert Bowers & Wilkins' continued commitment to performance audio technology. The audio/video category is growing rapidly within the broader consumer electronics industry. Bowers & Wilkins is well positioned to capture that growth by extending the reach of the brand with consumers in today's global marketplace.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
