Jake Sigal
Livio founder and CEO
Jake Sigal quit his XM product management gig at Delphi at the age of 26, vowing to do things differently. Bolstered by a $10,000 loan from his parents, he combined his two passions, engineering and music, and started Livio in 2008 from the guest bedroom of his home in Ferndale, Mich.
Sigal’s rule-breaking style quickly established Livio as a leader in the car Internet radio industry. It also made Jake an accredited young entrepreneur. Through partnerships with venture capital firms and angel investors, he raised millions to fund the Livio brand born under his own roof.
Before starting Livio, Sigal worked at Numark as a product developer, where he invented the original ION USB turntable and co-invented the iDJ. After, Sigal jumped to Delphi’s Consumer Electronics Group, working as a product line manager for XM Satellite Radio where he built a budding bromance with his boss, Massimo Baldini, who’s now Livio’s president.
Before he set the consumer electronics world on fire with his innovations, Sigal earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering at Ohio University, where he marched on the drumline of the infamous OU Marching 110. He now sits on the university’s Russ College of Engineering Board of Advisors. Sigal is also a board member of the Consumer Electronics Association’s (CEA) Board of Industry Leaders (BIL) and the Small Business Council (SBC).
When he isn’t inventing cool tech products, you can find Sigal fist pumping in his office to electro, house and dubstep, or battling Baldini in foosball. Sigal is married and has a cat cool enough to be on the box art for the Livio Radio featuring Pandora.
Sigal also loves riding his fixed-gear bike, letting loose at national electronic music festivals, mountain biking, skiing, crossfit, and playing ice hockey.
Today, Sigal still plays by his own rules – an ideology that has put more than 25 products on the market.
