World Wide Stereo and Gramophone — two independently operated companies aligned through a strategic leadership partnership — have jointly appointed David Solomon as director of content innovation & brand engagement.
With a focus on discovery and connection, Solomon will guide immersive content strategies that amplify both brands’ reach and relevance in a rapidly evolving industry. A revered leader in hi-res streaming and digital content strategy, he will guide cross-brand storytelling and digital engagement efforts to support the growth and evolution of both companies.
Solomon’s appointment reflects a shared commitment and significant step forward by both organizations to elevate the customer experience, amplify their digital reach, and deepen their connection with both strategic partners and with music lovers and technology enthusiasts across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. All while continuing to maintain and celebrate each company’s unique identity and business model.
His role comes at a pivotal moment, ahead of the opening of World Wide Stereo’s new flagship Experience Center in Wayne, Pennsylvania, set for September 2025.
“David brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise, storytelling vision, and unparalleled industry relationships,” says Andrew Davis, CEO and managing partner of World Wide Stereo and Gramophone. “He’ll be instrumental in helping us scale both our business and our digital content offerings — connecting more consumers with meaningful audio experiences while growing our online presence and partner ecosystem. His influence will be felt across every touchpoint, from showrooms and events to content and digital media.”
Solomon, who held prominent roles at Qobuz and TIDAL, is widely credited with helping shape the high-resolution streaming category in the U.S. market. A passionate educator, public speaker, and evangelist for premium listening, he will lead new content initiatives that build brand equity and offer dynamic, discovery-driven experiences for customers and partners alike.
“Joining World Wide Stereo and Gramophone at this pivotal moment is truly exciting,” says Solomon. “Both companies are driving innovation and excellence in ways that are reshaping the future of home entertainment and custom integration. They’re not just keeping up — they’re setting the pace. I’m thrilled to help deepen their connection with new audiences, expand vendor partnerships, and inspire the next generation of music lovers and technology enthusiasts.”
While honoring each company’s individuality, Solomon’s role will span both Gramophone and World Wide Stereo, supporting brand alignment and content strategy across multiple channels — from livestreams and expert demos to showroom programming and trade collaborations. His extensive network includes executives, reviewers, artists, and integrators, positioning him as a key connector in the premium AV space.
