Van Grove joins Stardraw.com with 20 years experience in systems contracting and commercial AV. Most recently he was the director of sales for Antex Electronics where he was responsible for direct sales, marketing and product management operations for both branded and OEM product lines for the install and commercial sound markets.
Van Grove will be responsible for business development across North America and Mexico. In particular this means developing business channels including the rep network for Stardraw.com's branded products, as well as handling existing OEM business and seeking out new OEM opportunities.
Stardraw CEO, Dave Snipp comments, "Tim's resumé speaks for itself. He has been a successful systems integrator for several years, and has worked on many complex projects. He understands how integrators think and the tools they require/desire to achieve their goals and deliver a successful project. He's also worked in sales and product management for many of the manufacturers with whom we have close relationships. In other words, he understands the business from both ends. He just ticked all the boxes! We're delighted to have him on board."
Van Grove adds, "While I may be just joining Stardraw, a large percentage of manufactured products that I have previously managed have been integrated with Stardraw for quite some time. As a result, I have personal knowledge of Stardraw's outstanding reputation with their AV systems control and design software. The company is a respected AV industry technology leader, and this is a unique position that will allow me to draw on both my industry manufacturer and system integrator experience: I'm delighted to be part of the Stardraw team."
