He defined an era at Naim with the musical presentation which he even managed to get the team to extend to Muso and car systems……a great loss imo.

I think she has left, and is now a private consultant, according to linkdin?

Based on what I have seen/read, not someone I would ever engage or recommend. I am certainly not convinced she did anything beneficial for Naim.
