In the 24 years of his career Mayr has worked with Force Computers (Solectron), Motorola, and most recently Garmin; playing a leading role in developing these brands internationally through engagement with new markets and the reinvention of existing ones, which has also involved spending a considerable amount of his time in Asia. Yet he also possesses traits familiar to d&b and like so many within the company, he once aspired to be a musician and still maintains a passion for live music. With his roots in technology, in a past life he has developed his own loudspeakers and amplifiers, at one time even having his own company where he developed a control unit for moving lights.
"Throughout his career he has demonstrated a willingness to challenge the orthodoxy," added Johnston, "And has educated markets to accept that quality has a significant value. This is very d&b."
