Walker joined Apogee Sound in February 2002 as general manager. Since then, he has re-directed Apogee's resources, accelerating new products and marketing initiatives, and implementing new manufacturing efficiencies and quality controls at the company's headquarters near San Francisco. Michael P. Fleischer, President of Bogen Communications Inc, the parent company of Apogee Sound, commented: "Our plan has always been to 'let Apogee be Apogee.' We're excited to have Steve dedicated to continuing and enhancing Apogee's reputation for making the finest professional loudspeaker systems in the world. Apogee Sound is in very capable hands."
Walker added: "Very simply, my role is to keep the people with the audio equipment design and manufacturing experience focused on what they do best, and my emphasis is on listening to customers’ needs. Apogee Sound serves two very distinct markets - fixed installations and professional end users - and we are diligently focused on 'being there' for those customers."
Walker is working closely with Apogee's long-established design team, led by director of engineering Barry Grzebik.
