Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) has appointed Frank Deo as chief technology officer of its Acoustic Sciences Division, which develops the company's ADIO, WiSA, Event Citadel and API Media technologies for spatial audio, data-over-sound signaling and live-event systems. Deo brings over 30 years of experience in building media, data and platform technologies, having previously served as vice president of new media technology at API Media, where he led product engineering for the ADIO platform. He is a Technical Emmy Award winner and holds 31 issued U.S. and international patents.
In his new role, Deo will lead efforts to unify the division's engineering stack across acquired operations, expand the use of artificial intelligence-assisted development tools, standardize engineering processes and simplify the underlying architecture to reduce operating costs as the business scales. This appointment expands the leadership of the Acoustic Sciences Division as Datavault AI evaluates a potential dividend spinout into a stand-alone public company. The proposed transaction remains subject to board approval, a definitive agreement, closing conditions and any required regulatory approvals.
Datavault AI's Acoustic Sciences division features WiSA, ADIO and Sumerian patented technologies and industry-first foundational spatial and multichannel wireless, high-definition sound transmission technologies with intellectual property covering audio timing, synchronization and multi-channel interference cancellation. The company's Data Science division leverages Web 3.0 and high-performance computing to provide solutions for experiential data perception, valuation and secure monetization.
