Hi, 

it looks very interesting to me that two members of the board recently purchased some BEO shares. In total they bought 6200. 

Mr. Jim Hagemann Snabe & Mr. Alberto Torres

Let us speculate what that means.

Are they expecting big things to happen? I hope so!!!

;-)

Edit:

After writing the above I have found the following Job description:

Sie passen zu uns, wenn Sie:

• Eine hohe Begeisterung für die Marke Bang & Olufsen mitbringen
• Kommunikation, Eigeninitiative und Belastbarkeit zu Ihren Stärken zählen
• Sensibilität für außergewöhnliche Serviceorientierung im Umgang mit Kunden und Mitarbeitern besitzen
• Über ein gepflegtes und sicheres Auftreten verfügen
• Sie im Besitz eines PKW-Führerscheins sind
• Idealerweise bereits Erfahrung mit der Marke Bang & Olufsen und/oder der Marke Apple gesammelt haben sowie über gute IT- bzw. Netzwerk Kenntnisse verfügen.

 Most important part: 

• In best case you have already experiance with the brand of B&O and / or with the Brand Apple as well as solid knowledge in the area of IT and Network.

Very interesting!

Hmmmm i reckon Apple TV with OLED screen (made by LG) and internal speakers by B&O.  Apart from selling millions, it would be THE BEST ever way of spreading the words Bang&Olufsen...

If Apple made a TV it would have to be different, captivating and I reckon that would start with OLED for which LG (who they favour) are a known developer!

Mr. Hagemann Snabe is co-CEO of business software company. SAP

Mr. Torres is with Nokia.

I do not see how that connects with Apple?

Hi expomann,

I totally agree from that angle there is no connection.

But taking in cosideration that BEO announced a partnership with Apple it is interesting from my point of view.

Moreover, but a weak argument, there is the store I am quoting above is looking to hire someone with extended networking and apple knowledge.

Mr. Torres is with Nokia.

Not since about a year or so. He was one of the folks that took up & left after the Meego platfrom collaboration with Intel was axed.

6,200 shares isn't that huge a commitment for anyone in an executive position - it's worth about 54,000 euros at current prices. Besides, they couldn't go about buying (nor selling) a lot if they had immediate knowledge of anything to come, as it would very soon end up in the court as a possible insider trade crime.

Personnally I do no agree to you. It is not insider knowledge, they have announced that they are going to do something with Apple. Announcing that the public knows it ;-)

I guess it is just an issue of definition. ;-)

I do not want to reduce the facts to the announcement I just think it is interesting to know. In addition I agree €54k is not that much of a commitment.

Can someone link me to the much talked about "partnership" with Apple?  All I have ever seen in print is the fact that some products will be sold in apple stores.

Thanks

Well,

sorry, it is quite late tonight but we have had the interview here at beoworld as well as the link to the danish business magazine Tue gave an interview.
