Andrew Lloyd

Engineer, Texavy

I have always had a strong passion for audio electronics and music since I was young. My interest in the recording and studio side began as a musician and remains a significant love of mine. However, I ultimately found my place in the commercial AV industry. I consider myself a jack of all trades and strive to remain humble in all my endeavors. Throughout my career, I have worked for several local companies in the Austin area before founding Texavy in 2019. My primary focus is offering professional services, but I also handle subcontracted project work and direct client engagements. Working with various interesting clients and projects has made my job incredibly enjoyable, and I always try to have a good time at work. I bring a diverse skill set to the table, including network and IT expertise, DSP programming, live sound, system design, and programming of Crestron and similar systems. One of my top goals is to continue building partnerships with like-minded individuals in the industry, as well as local businesses and contractors, to collaborate on projects. I believe in the value of having a range of proficiencies and am willing to take on any project, provided there is a strong team behind it.

Partner, Development and Services Director, Grupo Discabos

For the past 22 years, I have been actively involved in this dynamic Industry, witnessing its incredible evolution firsthand.   I started my career as a salesman, working to understand the intricacies of audio and video market. Through education, I climbed the ranks and am now proud to be a partner and Director of Products at Discabos Group Brasil, a leading value-added distributor that supplies products and services to audio and video integrators. My responsibilities are relationships with manufacturers, forecasting, logistics, and product development.   In addition to my role at Discabos, I have been an active member of Avixa for the past decade, immersing myself in this vibrant community of professionals. In 2018, I earned my Certified Technology Specialist (CTS), further solidifying my expertise in the AV industry. I am very proud of it. Four years ago, I received a humbling invitation to join the Avixa Foundation as a Director. Today, I proudly serve as its President, a position that fills me with immense pride and a deep sense of purpose.  For those unfamiliar with the Avixa Foundation, it is a non-profit organization dedicated to encourage the talent pathway and to fostering the careers within the AV industry. We are here to create the futures leaders of our industry. To achieve this, we have assembled an extraordinary team of staff and directors who work to develop activities and programs aligned with our strategic goals. In July 2023 I began to command the operation of DUCaaS, an AV technical services outsourcing company that is part of the Discabos Group. I am concerned about the future of the AV industry regarding two important topics: Education and Sustainability. In November 2023 I started my role at SAVe, as Ambassador for Brazil. Today I serve in The Board of Directors and as co-chair of Sponsorships. I feel a deep sense of purpose in being part of SAVe. I am marathon runner for pleasure, currently live in São Paulo, Brazil, with my wonderful wife Patricia and children Luca and Bianca.
