PK Sound Appointment

PK Sound, the robotic line array company, has appointed Conrad Whelan to the role of Chairman of the Board, bringing one of the technology industry's most consequential builders into a more active leadership position at a critical point in the company's global growth.

 Whelan has been a PK Sound board member since 2018. His elevation to Chairman reflects both the company's ambition and the scale of the opportunity ahead.

 "The live sound industry is at an inflection point," says Whelan. "The venues, the touring companies, the rental houses are being asked to make decisions about technology that will define how their businesses operate for the next decades. My ambition is to make sure PK Sound gives them the clearest possible reason to move forward with confidence. Better technology means better audience experiences and better business outcomes for us and our partners."

For the professionals who rely on PK Sound, including production companies, system integrators, and touring engineers, Whelan's appointment is a clear signal that the company is building for the long term, with leadership that understands how transformative technology is adopted in the real world.

As Uber's founding engineer, Whelan wrote the dispatch algorithm at the core of a platform that reshaped transportation for hundreds of millions of people and underpinned a $42 billion IPO. His career since has spanned decentralized computing and next-generation data infrastructure, consistently at the intersection of emerging technology and real-world consequence.

 "What PK Sound has built is genuinely rare," Whelan adds. "Patented robotic technology that gives engineers precise, real-time control over acoustic coverage is not an incremental improvement; it's a different way of thinking about what a line array can do. The opportunity now is making sure the right people understand that, and that we're building the kind of company that earns long-term trust across the industry."

 "Conrad has always asked the questions that make us dig deeper," says Jeremy Bridge, CEO of PK Sound. "His instinct is to cut through to what actually matters, for the business and for the people we serve. That's exactly the kind of leadership we need as we scale our patented technology in the market."
