Datavault AI Names Frank Deo CTO of Acoustic Sciences Division, Positioning for Potential Spinout

Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) has announced the appointment of Frank Deo as chief technology officer of its Acoustic Sciences Division, a move that signals the company's intent to streamline operations and position the division for a potential spinout. Deo, a Technical Emmy Award winner and inventor on 31 issued U.S. and international patents, brings over 30 years of experience in building media, data, and platform technologies. He previously served as vice president of new media technology at API Media, where he led product engineering for the ADIO platform, which is now part of Datavault AI's acoustic sciences portfolio.

The Acoustic Sciences Division develops the company's ADIO, WiSA, Event Citadel, and API Media technologies for spatial audio, data-over-sound signaling, and live-event systems. In his new role, Deo will lead efforts to unify the division's engineering stack across acquired operations, expand the use of artificial intelligence-assisted development tools, standardize engineering processes, and simplify the underlying architecture to reduce operating costs as the business scales. This appointment expands the division's leadership as Datavault AI evaluates a potential dividend spinout into a stand-alone public company. The proposed transaction remains subject to board approval, a definitive agreement, closing conditions, and any required regulatory approvals.

For the Texas business community, this development underscores how technology companies are refining their structures to focus on high-growth segments. Datavault AI's Acoustic Sciences Division holds key intellectual property in spatial audio and wireless sound transmission, areas with growing applications in entertainment, live events, and data communication. A successful spinout could create a new publicly traded entity, offering investors a pure-play opportunity in acoustic technology and potentially driving further innovation in the sector.

Datavault AI is headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, but its technologies serve industries that are significant in Texas, including sports & entertainment, events & venues, and energy. The company's platform leverages AI-driven data experiences and Web 3.0 solutions for asset valuation and monetization. The Information Data Exchange enables Digital Twins and secure licensing of name, image, and likeness by attaching physical objects to immutable metadata.
