Johannes Kares is a technology leader and audio-focused engineer with a decade of experience bridging immersive audio research and product engineering. As CTO of Talentir and co-founder of Treehouse Studios Vienna, he combines startup leadership with deep domain expertise in spatial audio systems developed during five years at Sennheiser. Trained as a Tonmeister at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, he blends musical sensitivity with technical rigor to deliver compelling auditory experiences. He has moved between roles in R&D, applications, and strategic collaboration, showing an ability to translate advanced audio algorithms into real-world products. Based in Vienna, Johannes is equally comfortable leading teams and diving into signal-processing challenges himself. A less obvious strength is his sustained commitment to both entrepreneurship and academic-rooted audio craftsmanship, which informs pragmatic yet research-aware technology decisions.
