Generation AV has announced its expansion in the Asia Pacific region with the appointment of well-known industry figures located in Singapore and India.
In order to expand its focus on the Indian market, Generation AV has roped in industry expert and former Sr. Director, India & SAARC for HARMAN Professional Solutions - Prashant Govindan who joins the Generation AV team as Regional Consultant for India. “Having Prashant on the Generation AV team is a big win. His market awareness, customer relationships, and experience in the India market will really help to provide a strong local base for Generation AV and ensure we have a voice on the ground to support the business. Prashant will be initially focused on expanding the installation market for Martin Audio, LEA Professional, iMAGsystems, and DLW LED, and building up the portable PA market for HH Electronics.” said David McKinney, MD of Generation AV.
Other key appointments include Kevin Kee as Regional Sales Director and David Wong as Director of Sales.
In his role as Regional Sales Director, Kevin Kee will manage the video brands at Generation AV, based in Singapore. Kevin has spent over 20 years working in the video market in Asia with companies like Prism Dynamics, Visual Contact and Lightware Visual Engineering Asia. “Kevin has all the experience and knowledge we were looking for to be able to increase the exposure of Digital Light Windows’ LED solutions, and iMAGsystems software driven AV over IP solutions across the region,” commented McKinney.
Also based in Singapore, David Wong will focus on the audio side of the business across the region. David has worked closely with McKinney over the years, including during his time at HARMAN and at Electro-Acoustics Systems. McKinney comments “It is great to welcome David to the Generation AV team. His experience and relationships with system integrators and consultants across the region is a great advantage for the brands we work with. Good progress has been made with LEA and Martin Audio, being seen in many of the latest project tenders, and with HH in the portable PA market. David will be able to build on this and take things to the next level.”
“I believe with the expanded sales team of Kevin, David and Prashant and with applications support from Tony Sawyer located in Manila, Generation AV is now setup to take the business to the next level. At the same time, the brands we work with have been expanding and enhancing their product and technology offerings, including the Connect Series Cloud enabled amplifiers from LEA and the new TORUS constant curvature line arrays from Martin Audio. With the new team and the new product offerings, 2021 is going to be an exciting year ahead.”
