Datavault AI Appoints Frank Deo as CTO of Acoustic Sciences Division Amid Potential Spinout

Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) has appointed Frank Deo as chief technology officer of its Acoustic Sciences Division, which develops the company's ADIO(R), WiSA(R), Event Citadel(TM) and API Media technologies for spatial audio, data-over-sound signaling and live-event systems. The appointment comes as the company evaluates a potential dividend spinout of the division into a stand-alone public company, subject to board approval, a definitive agreement, closing conditions and any required regulatory approvals.

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 an inventor on 31 issued U.S. and international patents. In his new role, Deo will lead efforts to unify the division 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.

The expansion of the Acoustic Sciences Division's leadership is a key step as Datavault AI explores strategic alternatives for the division, which houses foundational spatial and multichannel wireless, high-definition sound transmission technologies with intellectual property covering audio timing, synchronization and multi-channel interference cancellation. The division's technologies include WiSA, ADIO and Sumerian patented technologies.

Datavault AI is leading the way in AI-driven data experiences, valuation and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment. The company's cloud-based platform provides comprehensive solutions with a collaborative focus in its Acoustic Sciences and Data Sciences divisions. The Data Science division leverages the power of Web 3.0 and high-performance computing to provide solutions for experiential data perception, valuation and secure monetization.

The company's platform serves multiple industries, including high-performance computing software licensing for sports & entertainment, events & venues, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, energy and more.
