TEAM
TODD SUTHERLAND: CEO | SALES MANAGEMENT | BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
My career in this industry spans more than 20 years. I have worked for a handful of some of the finest luxury and high-performance manufacturers in their respective categories in Sales, Marketing and Operations roles. Visit my LinkedIn profile to review my background.
In creating my company, I look to form partnerships with select manufacturer teams, and their portfolios of products that offer performance and design differentiation.
The top-tier dealers across North America know that I will only bring them specialty products, best in their category, worthy of serious consideration for their portfolio.
KAMRON TROY: OPERATIONS | SALES | SUPPORT
Kamron spearheads our Inventory and Shipment Operations. He has been integrally involved with ASCENDO in the U.S. from the beginning and is always happy to share his extensive knowledge and experience (and enthusiasm) with both appointed and prospective dealers in an Inside Sales and Support role.
As a 21-year United Airlines Operations veteran, all of us at SAVM benefit tremendously from Kamron’s expertise and can-do enthusiasm as we continue to scale our business and relationships with our dealers and vendor partners.
Kamron is also a founding member of Luxury Distribution Group (above), Christie Digital System’s residential distributor for projection systems, assisting dealers with setup and technical expertise.
ADAM PELZ: DESIGN ENGINEERING | CALIBRATIONS | TRAINING
Adam leads our efforts in Design Engineering, Calibration, and Training. He is widely known for his years of significant contributions in the CEDIA channel in training and education. This includes his participation in, and chairing of, a number of CEDIA’s performance initiatives, as well as HAA training with Gerry Lemay.
Combine these skills with Adam’s tremendous knowledge and experience in system/room calibrations around the globe, and I can’t think of a person better qualified to lead ASCENDO’s efforts in delivering science-based home theater performance for our market.
Don’t worry, Adam will continue to teach HAA and serve his CEDIA roles, in addition to leading SAVM’s Design and Training efforts.
