When I joined Crestron in 2011 as an application engineer, I had zero knowledge about the AV industry but was excited to get a job closer to home. I planned to stay at Crestron until I found a job with a company I was familiar with during college, such as JPMorgan Chase, Stryker, or even the NBA. My plan was never to stay in this industry—but I saw the opportunity to learn and make an impact early on, and as the saying goes, “Go where the water takes you.”
However, something had been on my mind for a long time, and I didn’t figure it out until I joined Accenture and was introduced to new terms and other industry organizations. In the AV industry, the potential of cross-functional collaboration is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect. It's not just corporate jargon but a profound truth about leveraging mutual strengths.
