APT welcome back John McCaffery

Belfast-based APT (Audio Processing Technology) have welcomed John McCaffrey back to the company as their new licensing manager.

McCaffrey has spent the last four years handling OEM business for Andor, one of the largest high-tech companies in Northern Ireland and one of the UK’s fastest growing top 50 companies. However, prior to that he spent some years with APT helping to establish the company’s ground-breaking Standard and Enhanced apt-X audio data compression algorithms into the broadcast, consumer and pro audio markets. McCaffrey took the lead on APT’s first licensing deal with Leitch in 1999.

APT’s commercial director Jon McClintock, said: “We are delighted to have John back. His re-appointment comes at a time when we are actively pursuing our licensing activities to OEM manufacturers around the world. John’s wealth of experience in this area, and his knowledge of the APT product range, makes him ideally placed to exploit many of the new opportunities.”
