I have many years of experience in the AV industry and have the privilege of leading the outstanding marketing team at Broadfield Distributing. I host Broadfield LIVE Webinars, dealer spotlights, and Liquid Lunch & Learn tutorials—often accompanied by carefully selected craft beers, with New England Hazy IPAs featuring Citra hops being a standout favorite. I truly value the relationships I’ve built with AV integrators and VARs over the years, and I look forward to connecting with you and learning more here on AVIXA Xchange.

Rob has worked in high tech for four decades, establishing himself as a veritable veteran of the moving image. He has spent time in engineering, sales and marketing, in positions spanning the content-creation, distribution, and transmission industries and more recently AV. Previously, he was an active member of the International Association of Broadcast Manufacturers, serving on its technical sub-committee as well as presenting technical sessions for the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers in London (including 'resettlement' courses for those leaving the UK military) , the Control Room Summit and AV Broadcast Summit  - both in Europe and for Infocomm University in Dubai and the US. His education includes a CTS. He also has degrees in Information and Communication Technologies (BSc) and Electrical and Electronic Engineering (BSc). Additionally, he complemented this with a Chartered Institute of Marketing post-graduate diploma.   He has been with Matrox Video for 20 years over which time has been associated with many projects, large and small – national and international. His current remit is the furtherance of strategic partnerships - both technological and organizational. He is particularly involved with the new IPMX open standard - the AV focussed extension to ST2110. Rob is held in high regard internationally for his technology training sessions and was recognised by Infocomm in 2016 as a ‘distinguished talent’ in the industry.

I lead AVIXA’s Latin America marketing and communications initiatives and I look forward to making new connections on the Xchange.
