Universal Audio (UA) has welcomed seasoned tech executives Gordon Mattingly and John Bigay to its executive team, both reporting to founder and CEO Bill Putnam Jr.
As UA’s new chief financial officer, Mattingly brings 20 years of multinational finance leadership experience in the consumer electronics and SaaS industries. Most recently, he served as CFO for Arlo Technologies where he managed worldwide financial operations and helped deliver a successful IPO and spin‑off from parent company Netgear.
“I’m blown away by the creativity and commitment to excellence the UA team delivers through our expanding ecosystem of audio hardware, software and subscriptions,” Gordon said. “I’m looking forward to combining my passion for both music and successful financial operations to help the UA team realize our future growth opportunities.”
As UA’s new chief revenue officer, John Bigay joins UA with 15 years of executive-level tech marketing expertise, most recently serving as chief marketing officer at iZotope, where he built its SaaS business, fortified channel partnerships and grew revenue operations through its acquisition. Prior to iZotope, Bigay was instrumental in the growth of companies, including Lavastorm Analytics and Backupify.
“As a lifelong music lover and performer, I’m humbled to be joining the passionate team at UA,” Bigay said. “I’m looking forward to doing my part in the company’s future success and helping our customers continue making great art.”
“John and Gordon bring fresh new perspectives and great leadership experience to Universal Audio,” Putnam, Jr. said. “We have incredible new products coming next year, and I’m thrilled to be strengthening our leadership team with two seasoned executives who also happen to be lifelong musicians. That part is the icing on the cake.”
