Speaker Bio

Geoff, who hails from the Caribbean, is a 1970 Commonwealth Scholar and Physics and Chemistry graduate of Leeds University with post-graduate and post-doctoral research experience in Materials Science at Oxford University. Leaving academia in the early eighties he co-founded one the UK's leading first generation PC companies and then led the company that introduced the world's first computer interactive Videowall display systems which included marketing and selling these high technology display systems into Japan.
 
Joining NXT in 1999 as Display Technologist charged with the responsibility of developing SoundVu® (- the screen is the loudspeaker), Geoff made it his personal objective to lay the groundwork that would ensure that at some point in the not too distant future, every Flat Panel Display (FPD) would be considered incomplete without SoundVu®. More recently he has been appointed Technical Sales Director which has widened his technical marketing role at NXT to all sectors.
