AV mourns the loss of Ratnesh Javeri, CTS-D, C. Eng. (India) and a Fellow at IETE. We commemorate his service, remember his bold spirit, passion for our industry, and his passion for life.
His fellow volunteer Jeffrey Lipp, CTS-D shared "Ratnesh was a truly great asset to the entire AV industry. When I worked with him as a volunteer on the standards steering committee, he provided not only excellent technical and organizational input, but an unusual global perspective. Ratnesh truly gave our industry a bright world perspective and I will miss him along with the entire AV industry."
The first Indian ‘Certified Technology Specialist in Design’ (CTS-D), Ratnesh was an electronics engineer by education and entrepreneur in the space of workplace technology consultancy, with over 25 years of experience in the field of AV consulting. At AVIXA, Ratnesh shared his volunteer leadership with the Board of Directors in both 2016 and 2017 through thoughtful global perspectives and in-depth technical knowledge.
Former AVIXA Board of Directors Chairman Jeff Day shared "We lost a good one today. My dear friend and fellow AVIXA board member Ratnesh Javeri taught me so much about life, spirituality, respect for nature, family, serving others, and adventure. He was the consummate professional, extremely committed to his craft, and passionate about the audiovisual industry. His volunteerism and heart drove standards and education opportunities for others."
AVIXA CEO Dave Labuskes shared "From my first meeting with Ratnesh nearly 10 years ago to my last this past September, the constant thread was a love for his industry, his family, and his friends. Those of us who knew him cherished our time with him not only because of his kindness but also from having some small part of his bold spirit and sheer passion for life left inside each of us. He truly did life right and we are all better for it."
As we mourn his loss and remember the value Ratnesh brought to our industry, we hope you will share warm thoughts and memories of this AV giant.
