William Egan is the new president of the Institute of Acoustics.

One of Egan’s first tasks will be to lead the Institute’s 40th anniversary celebrations which culminate in a special two-day conference at the NEC, Birmingham October 15-16.

Speaking as he took over the presidency from Bridget Shield, Egan said, “It may be something of a cliché among Institute members to say that acoustics is in everything we touch and hear, but this is still something that very few people outside the sector, most pertinently those in government, appreciate. That’s why I’m determined during my two-year term to do all I can raise acoustics’ profile – and that of the Institute – as much as possible. As a profession we have so much to be proud of. We must now spread this message and, with us about to start our 40th anniversary celebrations, this is the perfect opportunity to begin to do so.”

Egan is Vice President–Global Sales at underwater acoustic solutions provider Teledyne RESON. Before joining the company in 2013 he spent 12 years at Brüel & Kjaer, the sound and vibration measurement specialist, where he held a series of senior management positions, most recently as Global Services and Solutions Director.

He has been succeeded as President-Elect by Jo Webb, Acoustics Associate at Arup.
