I’m a proud Colombian that loves life, family, friends, music, sports, food, travel, nature & meditation. I have 20+ years of international experience in Sales, Trade Marketing & Marketing in different industries (Technology, Consumer Goods and Textiles). During this time I’ve had the privilege to travel around and also live in different Countries (Canada, India) which has given me the gift to know different cultures and value the relevance of building cross-cultural understanding across nations. In a nutshell, I’m really good at establishing Strategic Alliances and opening international Channels of Distribution in the Latin America & Caribbean Region, using my ability to build long term relationships with customers and peers, strategically deliver results, manage complex situations, and lead multicultural and multidisciplinary teams.

At SpinetiX, I drive multichannel comms campaigns and oversee digital marketing, from website management to social media growth. I collaborate in cross-functional initiatives together with the product, support, and development teams to create product documentation. My role also involves directing our digital signage academy with AVIXA-approved courses and developing engaging brand-aligned content, as well as coordinating with internal and external partners to fulfill our marketing strategies. All this, while thriving in a multicultural setting of teammates from across the globe.

I am an expert in Audio Visual solution design and technical connectivity. 

¡Hola a todos! Estoy encantada de ser parte de esta comunidad. Soy Virginia, Gerente de Marketing y Relaciones Globales en Proyecciones Digitales – GPA Argentina y Uruguay. Con 13 años de experiencia en la industria AV, me apasiona la innovación, el arte y todo lo que impulsa nuevas formas de crear y conectar. A lo largo de mi carrera, he buscado integrar la interculturalidad y la sustentabilidad en cada proyecto, porque creo que solo con una mirada consciente y diversa es posible generar un impacto real y duradero.

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.
