This leads to frustration and holds people back from performing at their best. I help corporate, government, education sector leaders implement AV technology solutions to facilitate high performance outcomes for their staff and customers.

Nicole Verardi

Senior Director of Marketing, AVIXA

When I first started in AV, I remember hearing how AV professionals really care about the human experience, not just the tech. And it's true! I love connecting the dots to help people find the AV resources they need, building communities where people come together and being a part of such a vibrant (and welcoming) industry.
