Daniel Spreadbury is the Product Marketing Manager for Steinberg, the company that recently released Dorico, a revolutionary music engraving software program. Spreadbury used to be Sibelius’s senior product manager. He started working at Sibelius in May 1999 and was involved in many different aspects of the company’s operations. He began in the technical support team and quickly took on the authoring of the documentation that ships with Sibelius. Before too long, he and his friend and colleague Andrew Davis were put to work on SibeliusMusic.com, the community-based self-publishing site for Sibelius users, taking advantage of the unique Scorch web browser plug-in, which opened for business in 2001.

Spreadbury left Avid at the end of October 2012 after thirteen years working on Sibelius to become the Product Marketing Manager for Steinberg, the company that recently released Dorico. Spreadbury may be contacted on Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter.
