Røde Microphones has appointed Dr Sam Bucolo as Chief of Design, to oversee all aspects of research, development and design across the full Røde product range, with a focus on driving innovation and leading ongoing R&D expansion.
Bucolo joins Røde from the Australia Design Council, where he is currently Chief Executive Officer. With a career spanning more than 30 years, he has worked for a number of organisations implementing design-led innovation strategies across design, technology and education sectors.
‘Sam Bucolo is one of the leading design thinkers in Australia, and a global innovation expert with a proven track record of delivering impact in businesses like ours,’ says Røde CEO, Damien Wilson. ‘Innovation is at the core of what we do here, and with an incredible product roadmap ahead of us, his addition to the team will continue to drive new successes and deliver exceptional new products for the world’s creators.’
This appointment follows a landmark 12 months for Røde, including the company’s first foray into the video category with the Streamer X, claimed to be the world’s first integrated professional audio interface and video capture card.
‘It is with great enthusiasm that I join Røde at this pivotal time in the company’s history,’ Bucolo says. ‘I have long revered Røde not only as a stalwart of Australian design, but as a global technology and advanced manufacturing leader. I am incredibly excited to work alongside Damien, Peter Freedman and their incredible team here in Sydney. Røde’s facilities are second-to-none, and the team’s passion for innovation and customer-centric design is admirable. I look forward to helping carry the company’s legacy as the world’s premier technology brand for creators into the future.’
