Gerard heeft maar liefst 38 jaar ervaring in de hoortoestellen industrie. Een variatie aan functies waaronder ITE-productie, Inside Sales, Outdoor Sale en Audiologie

Hij is altijd gefascineerd hoe mensen geluid ervaren en beleven. Daarnaast heeft hij een grote interesse voor alle toestellen en services waardoor mensen meer en beter kunnen horen. Het houdt ervan om deze fascinatie te delen met collega’s, audiciens en eindgebruikers. Hij heeft een passie voor Audiologie, zijn trots is de ontwikkeling van de ‘phoneme verificatie tool’. Met deze tool wordt de output van een hoortoestel te meten op het oor zelf, waardoor het mogelijk is de toename, compressie en de output van zachte, normale en hard geluiden te checken.

Naast zijn werk houdt Gerard van voetbal en squash. En hij is ook vaak te vinden op de sportschool voor een spinning les en bodypump. Maar zijn grootste plezier is om samen met zijn kleinkinderen te spelen!
