NEW YORK—Nugen Audio, a U.K.-based provider of professional audio tools, has opened a new North American office in New York City and has appointed Simon Kerr as chief marketing officer. Kerr will oversee the company’s global marketing strategy out of the North American office.

There he spearheaded the launch and marketing of the Cinema EOS line of cameras. With a background in documentary filmmaking for TV, Kerr lectured in video production at Leeds Metropolitan University in the U.K. before migrating to New York 15 years ago.
