Five Questions for Richard Johnson

Motto: “Try it, you can do it”

What attracted you to Brüel & Kjær?

For my final year project at university in the 1960s, I used Brüel & Kjær equipment for the first time, sparking my interest in NVH. Working for Brüel & Kjær seems the obvious place to be after almost 50 years in sound and vibration measurement. Here, I enjoy my role integrating our team (which joined Brüel & Kjær 18 months ago) into Brüel & Kjær’s Global Engineering Services organization and continuing to develop the consulting business. I also enjoy the challenge of keeping ahead in an increasingly competitive world, both technically and globally.

What is the most challenging project you have been involved in?

I am part of a team that has helped to get the NVH Simulator technology to be adopted as a standard part of our clients’ vehicle development process.

What irritates you most about your own personality?

I would rather listen than talk.

If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?

Time travel – so that I could experience great historical events and prevent future disasters.
