NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) — Downtown Music announced the unexpected passing of its Chief Technology Officer, Manan Vohra, at the age of 41.
“Manan was one of the most caring, kind, intelligent, and inspirational people I’ve known. He was our close colleague and a friend. He was such a great part of the joy working at Downtown. To myself and to so many of us, Manan leaves such a void through his upbeat manner, his sensibility, humor and not to forget the dedication to our company. He was – and his legacy remains – such an integral part of our success and of the values we stand for,” said Downtown Music CEO, Pieter van Rijn.
“Those who had the privilege to know Manan realized he was an exceptional individual. While his impact on the company as our Chief Technology Officer is undeniable, I was equally, if not more, moved by his wisdom and inspiration. Every interaction with him imparted valuable lessons about life, organizational design, leadership, and more. He possessed not only intelligence but a kindness that left a lasting impression on each of us individually and on our team as a whole,” added Downtown Music Holdings CEO, Andrew Bergman.
Vohra joined Downtown as the company’s Global Head of Technology and Product in 2020 and was promoted to the role of CTO of Downtown Music in March 2023.
Vohra is survived by his wife, Peggy Struck, his mother, and his sister. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with them at this time.
