GLOBAL: Emerging professional audio manufacturer M&W Pro Audio has appointed Phil Bunch as its Chief Executive Officer, strengthening the company’s leadership team as it begins operations following its recent debut at InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas.

Founded by industry veterans Greg Mackie and Peter Watts, M&W Pro Audio unveiled its first products—the D24 and D32 digital mixers—at the exhibition. Bunch joined the company immediately prior to the launch at the request of co-founder Greg Mackie and officially assumed the CEO role on 18 June 2026.

Bunch brings extensive experience spanning professional audio manufacturing, engineering, executive leadership and global supply chain management. Before joining M&W Pro Audio, he served as Vice President of Global Operations at Tectonic Audio Labs for eight years. Earlier in his career, he was President of Phase Group, overseeing operations across the company’s QA and Engineering Services, Automation, Supply Chain Management and Procurement divisions, while also holding senior leadership positions at Eastech and Esoteric Audio, where he managed engineering, product development, manufacturing, quality and procurement operations across Asia and North America.

“When Greg reached out and asked me to take the lead at M&W Pro Audio, it was an opportunity I simply couldn’t pass up,” said Bunch. “Building a company alongside Greg Mackie, Peter Watts, Jay Schlabs, and the outstanding team already in place is both professionally exciting and personally rewarding. There is genuine innovation behind what M&W Pro Audio has created, and I believe we’re introducing a new way of thinking about digital mixing. I’m honored by Greg’s confidence in me to lead a literal dream-team, and I look forward to helping build M&W into one of the industry’s great brands.”

Welcoming Bunch to the company, Greg Mackie, Co-Founder of M&W Pro Audio, said, “I’ve known Phil professionally for many years, and I’ve always respected both his leadership style and his ability to get things done. As we prepared for our launch, I knew we needed someone I could trust to lead the business while Peter and I remained focused on developing great products and shaping the future of the company. Phil has a unique combination of engineering knowledge, manufacturing experience, supply chain expertise, and executive leadership that is difficult to find. I wanted a hands-on leader for our team, and I have complete confidence in him leading M&W Pro Audio as we begin this next chapter.”
