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. The announcement, made via press release, underscores the company's commitment to scaling its acoustic technologies as it evaluates a potential dividend spinout of the division into a stand-alone public company.
Deo previously served as vice president of new media technology at API Media, where he led product engineering for the ADIO platform. With more than 30 years of experience building media, data and platform technologies, he is a Technical Emmy Award winner and holds 31 issued U.S. and international patents. His appointment expands the leadership of the Acoustic Sciences Division as Datavault AI prepares for potential separation.
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 strategic move aims to enhance operational efficiency and drive innovation within the division.
The proposed spinout transaction remains subject to board approval, a definitive agreement, closing conditions and any required regulatory approvals. The appointment of Deo signals Datavault AI's focus on strengthening its acoustic sciences business ahead of a possible public listing.
