I am an Analyst with about a decade of experience working in the Media & Tech sector.
I am now working on Dovetail Pulse, a division of Dovetail Creative focused on helping turn complex data into actionable insights that drive strategic decision-making and innovative engagement. Previously, I worked for a membership organization (IABM), which allowed me to appreciate the critical value of relationships and community in business. Working in this context also forged my hybrid research approach. I love telling stories with words and data, but I am driven by searching for the why behind the complex questions I encounter in my work. This may be why I am attracted to the intricacies of the Media & Tech industry. I am a graduate of Pisa, Durham, Swansea, and Glasgow Universities, holding a BSc in Economics and Management, an MSc in Business Economics, and an MSc in Data Analytics.
I have been in the Professional Commercial Audio-Visual Industry for over 35 years now. I have seen the technologies change and enhance how we learn and present content.
We have amazing Laser Projector Solutions Built for most any Pro AV Integrated System Application Project. With this in mind, why should any integrator offer an end-user (Especially on a limited Budget) a smaller flat panel (55"- 86") room solution when a Projector with a much Larger Screen could be a much better solution while creating more impactful presentations & learning experience(s) for their respective audience(s). These Ricoh Laser Projectors have a long life and can be coupled with other devices such as Wireless Presentation Receiver(s), with no cables needed to be installed.
Rather have a Large Interactive Panel? Well, we have the most amazing presentation & learning software's for easy annotation, subject matter presentations for any document or video formats and more. This can also be controlled from a Handheld Ricoh Wireless Touch Panel, creating the same or better effect as standing in front of an interactive panel.
Ask us how this is done, it's amazing?
We have a comprehensive range of 8 different Laser Projector options from about 4000 Lemens to about 10000 Lumens. Options from simple plug-and-play devices to sophisticated projector technologies ready for the most common integrations as well as the most challenging integrated AV projects.
Our larger lumen projectors have built-in side by side Edge Blending Capabilities, perfect for many applications including Council Chambers, Command Centers for Police/911 and Control Room Type Applications.
Contact me today, so we can lead you and your firm to our current roster of distribution partners.
