SMARTcast

Welcome to Episode 20 of the SMARTcast where we're joined by Daniel Kerkoff, Director of Crestron Marine.
Crestron has been at the forefront of innovation since 1972, building technologies that make connection, collaboration, and control feel effortless.
Daniel leads Crestron's global marine division, overseeing what he calls their "floating projects" - ensuring every yacht installation lives up to the brand's promise of simplicity, reliability, and elegance. But his role goes beyond delivery. He's also the eyes and ears of the yachting world for Crestron's R&D and product teams, translating what superyacht owners and crews will need tomorrow into the innovations Crestron builds today. Enjoy.

Dr. Trevor Wilson is the founder of Wilson Business Partnership Ltd, and he joins us for a fascinating discussion on high-end audio design. This episode goes beyond product talk and career stories — it's about technology, yes, but more than that, it's about the emotion it stirs in the end user...and the journey to delivering something so special.
We explore the real-world decisions, discipline, and deep client understanding that separate truly great high-end audio delivery from everything else.
Enjoy!
