Damian Biltres

Business Development Manager, Wolfvision

In 2003, I began my professional career at BIS Digital, a company specializing in audio and video solutions for the judicial and government markets. My role as a network administrator quickly evolved as I demonstrated exceptional skill in developing and implementing advanced AV systems. As their Director of Technical Services, I oversaw the design, implementation, training and support of over 6000 courtrooms and municipal chambers.  I was recruited by Wolfvision in 2020, a leading provider of presentation and collaboration solutions.  I was tasked with developing the judicial and government markets. I have leveraged my expertise in IT and AV technology, which became instrumental in modernizing courtrooms and government facilities. I have spearheaded projects to install state-of-the-art AV systems, ensuring secure and reliable communication during legal proceedings.  Notable projects include the overhaul of the AV infrastructure in multiple state & federal courthouses, integrating presentation, collaboration & distribution solutions in states such as Florida, Georgia, Nebraska and Utah as well as on the island of Puerto Rico.
