Before the Apple Airpods, Parrot launched Zik headphones. These touch-sensitive, tap-to-play noise cancelling headphone designed in collaboration between Henri Seydoux (Loubiton shoe co-founder) and Philipe Starck, world-renon designer were ahead of their time.

Our GTM launch focused on traveling executives, muscians and artists who spent tons of time on planes, trains and automobiles. As head of GTM and channels sales for the company we very successful in selling in hundreds of airport retail locations and running campaigns throughout airline magazines, wifi promotions and in-flight membership programs.

It was not uncommon, for years, to walk through any major aiport in the United States and see a pair of Parrot Zik casually resting around the neck of athlete’s, musicians and startup founders.
