Leaving the comfort of your living room does not mean you’re leaving a great entertainment experience behind. In partnership with HP, we’re expanding the IMAX Enhanced ecosystem to include mobile PCs and laptops so consumers can continue to enjoy immersive, high-quality content experiences wherever they watch content. The goal of IMAX Enhanced has always been to deliver the best possible viewing experience outside of the theatre, where the majority of entertainment content is consumed. IMAX Enhanced was first available on TVs and AV receivers, sound bars and loudspeakers before it expanded into mobile and now to laptops. IMAX and DTS work closely with OEM partners during certification for both the display and the audio components. Products go through a rigorous calibration process to ensure brightness, contrast ratio and other performance factors meet the IMAX Enhanced specifications. Similarly, with audio, DTS:X allows sounds to move freely around the listener to make them feel more immersed in the content.

I love what I get to do every day for Xperi! How long have you worked at Xperi and what led you to our industry? I have been with Xperi for about a year. I previously worked in various HR generalist positions and was looking for a role that was more centralized in one area and a role that was also administrative-heavy. By the grace of timing and after reviewing the job description, it was a perfect fit! I feel very fortunate to be in this role and utilize my strengths. When you’re not at work, how do you spend your time? When I’m not at work, my husband and I like to explore LA and try new eateries. We are also always looking for fun places to bring our dog with us, which is so much fun!

Where possible, I try to automate repetitive work. I also make sure that everyone understands the requirements the same way. How long have you worked at Xperi and what led you to our industry? I’ve been working at Xperi for over a year, but time flows so well here that I feel as if I’ve been working for much longer.

My superpower would be finding bugs in software. I would find all of the bugs and the world would be safer and more beautiful. When you’re not at work, how do you spend your time? After work, I like to move a bit and listen to podcasts. Sometimes I go for a walk, go to the gym or go swimming. In the evening I like to watch a Marvel movie or series.

In 2022, we adopted our first ESG policy, hired an ESG lead, and established an ESG Steering Committee that oversees Xperi’s ESG strategy, goals, and progress. Our ESG Pillars of Culture & Belonging, Resilience and Corporate Governance and Community Impact determine how we structure our goals and track our accomplishments throughout the year.
