Michelle Moog Koussa Biog
Michelle Moog-Koussa was born in 1968, just as Wendy Carlos released her groundbreaking album Switched-On Bach, which brought the Moog synthesizer to the fore of the public consciousness. She is the founder and Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation, a position she has held for the past 16 years. She has grown the Foundation from a grass roots, volunteer-based organization to one that has nationally recognized goals and accomplishments, a staff of seven, and a worldwide network of supporters. She has been the driving force behind the Foundation’s vision to carry Bob Moog’s pioneering legacy forward by igniting creativity at the intersection of music, science, history, and innovation.
