Sonos has announced that it is continuing its personnel overhaul with the addition of Hugo Barra to its Board of Directors. Barra is joining as Mike Volpi, who is stepping down from the Board after 15 years.

With his deep expertise, including in AI, we’re excited to have him on the Board, engaging with the leadership team and adding value.”
“It’s an honor to join the Sonos Board,” says Barra. “This is a company which makes delightful products that have brought me and my family many thousands of hours of joy over the years. I look forward to working with the team and focusing on the large opportunities ahead.”
