Outline has expanded its technical staff with the recruitment of Andrea Ippolito and Anastasia Klinushkina.
Andrea Ippolito (25) is a telecommunications engineering graduate and an amateur clarinettist, who has already worked for Outline on on the iMode project, under the guidance of engineer Daniele Pagani.
‘From my point of view, joining Outline’s R&D team has meant having the opportunity of being involved in highly ambitious projects, using state-of-the-art technology and working alongside some of the best engineers in the pro audio industry,’ he says. ‘My experience in the digital signal processing field has numerous applications in audio, which for me is a great source of stimulus and satisfaction, thanks also to my love for music.
‘The first project I worked on was the development of the iMode platform. Thanks to research and implementation of efficient avant-garde digital processing techniques, such as WFIR filtering, we achieved the goal of really in-depth overall system control which, along with the upgrade of the iOS applications, makes control work enjoyable and immediate.’
Anastasia Klinushkina (30) is a native Russian who also speaks fluent English, Italian and German. She obtained a degree in foreign language teaching in Moscow, another in languages for international business communication in Modena (Italy) and inherited a love for audio from her sound engineer father.
Her new role is to maintain and strengthen relations with existing clients (some of whom are long-standing Outline customers), whether they are distributors, installers, rental companies or consultants, as well as finding opportunities for global expansion in new markets.
Her mastery of languages, knowledge of several cultures and great communicative ability will enable her to work both front-office and in a back-office context, analysing the figures and results achieved, for the benefit of the sales department and the company’s marketing in general.
‘I love the pro audio world, thanks above all to my father, who has worked in the sector for almost 30 years,’ she says.
‘I consider my role as being transversal and multi-faceted, as it involves the sales, marketing, R&D, logistics and administration departments. My previous work experience has enabled me to build up the abilities I currently have, which will without doubt stand me in good stead in this job, but I’ll obviously learn a lot more as I go along, and this is very exciting. I’m convinced that, rather than looking for distributors, nowadays companies need to find partners willing to shares responsibilities and success. The key to successful international cooperation is precisely the realization of common objectives.’
‘This is a further step in our development and expansion at international level,’ says Outline CEO, Giorgio Biffi. ‘There are countries with a high development potential, in which our brand’s appeal could be greatly appreciated. Young people are an indispensable resource since, as well as their technical skills, they are able to communicate new ideas using many media. We are now stronger and ready to follow up on this latest step.’
