As a step toward reaching their goal of 1,000 member companies, Azione Unlimited and Oasys Residential Technology Group, formerly Home Technology Specialists Nationwide, announced the addition of a four-person field team dedicated to supporting the CI segment.
“We’ve compiled an all-star team that will go to bat for our custom integrators, working hand-in-hand with them to ensure they have the tools they need to succeed,” said Andy Orozco, senior vice president of custom integration for Nationwide. “I look forward to seeing them engage not only with our current custom integration members but also those dealers out there who aren’t yet aware of the benefits and opportunities available to them by aligning with our custom integration network.”
The field team made their in-person debut at the recent Oasys Summit in Nashville and has hit the ground running in the weeks since, attending CEDIA Tech Summits and other industry events. Working closely with current dealers across Nationwide’s entire custom integration network, this group of industry veterans works to ensure members are taking full advantage of their membership. Additionally, the team will work to identify dealers in the commercial and residential industries who would stand to benefit by aligning with the group’s custom integration network.
The new team collectively brings several decades of experience driving growth within the custom integration channel, both on the vendor side of the business as well as working closely with dealers, and includes:
- Nicole Riddle, Member Development Director, will call on custom integrators in the Midwest. Riddle brings nearly a decade of experience in the buying group world to the team, and recently spent a year on the manufacturing side.
- Carrie Fabrick, Member Support Manager, will cover custom integrators in the Southeast. Fabrick recently dipped her toe into the buying group industry after working on administrative and HR management for an AV and IT manufacturer for nearly 10 years.
- Jason Magdic, Member Support Manager, will cover custom integrators in the West. Magdic has a strong and diverse background in the CI industry, serving as an audio engineer, account manager and regional sales manager at several AV and marketing firms before joining the Nationwide team.
- Mark Spector, Member Support Manager, will call on custom integrators in the Northeast. A CI industry veteran, Spector brings over 20 years of experience to the team, having served in sales roles on both the manufacturer and distribution side of the business.
