Before graduation as an Electro-Acoustic Engineer from RWTH (Technical University) in Aachen, he worked for a professional acoustic consultancy department at Siemens AG in Frankfurt, Germany, in the mid-90ies. This experience together with his passionate activities in the domain of creating and deploying loudspeakers and amplifiers for various event applications represented the main reason for his decision to work in the audio world of large-scale sound reinforcement under the roof of a leading manufacturer.
Consequently, Goertz continued his career in 2001 (up to the present day) when he was hired by d&b audiotechnik as an Application Engineer & Product Trainer/Presenter both in workshops and conferences all over the world to train sales partners, consultants and users for knowledge and experience transfer mainly in the domain of installed sound systems.
d&b audiotechnik was founded in 1981 and has since been a leading manufacturer of audio and sound reinforcement solutions both for global (music) artist touring, musicals, corporate rental applications as well as installed environments such as the performing arts, houses of worship, multipurpose venues, conference/education- and sports facilities.
Besides his contribution to the growth of the company in its geographical expansion, especially towards Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa, providing education, trainings as well as designing, engineering and implementing countless permanent installed sound systems in the above-mentioned segments, his main field of activities over the last 23 years has been acoustic studies and on-site commissioning of a multitude of stadiums and arenas worldwide.
His professional efforts cover the design and planning of these projects, electro-acoustic simulations and the fine tuning and measuring of an installed system in compliance with regional, continental and global standards, such as those issued by DIN, EN, BS, NFPA, UEFA, FIFA, etc.
During his ongoing career in the audio industry working for d&b audiotechnik, Goertz gained a wealth of experience over the last 12 years in leadership roles and currently holds responsibility as “Director of Global Education & Application Support”.
