AV Mounting Solutions vendor Chief has announced a Technology Solutions Group which they say will better serve customers with digital signage rollouts.

The group aims to provide a full service offering to manufacturers, content providers and their end users; i.e. product phase recommendations, site surveys, pilot phase support, project management, product modifications and engineering assistance – the group aims to work as a trusted partner and consultant to provide the support and expertise needed at each phase of a project.

The group will be backed by dedicated support teams across the Milestone organisation – customers will have access to all Milestone commercial product brand offerings including Chief mounts and AV accessories as well as Da-lite Screens.

The North American team is comprised of five individuals from the US and Canada.

Elizabeth Klauda joins the team with more than 15 years of experience in the industry working with manufacturers on large projects. Patrick May joins Elizabeth on the team and has a wealth of knowledge in product management and digital signage solutions architecture. Team member Jarad Flax, CTS, DSCE, has been focusing on the digital signage segment for the past seven years and has extensive experience with channel sales, management and program development.

Frank Pisano, Director of U.S. Sales for Chief, will head up the US group while David Galos leads the Canadian efforts.

Frank told us “I’m excited about the new group and our deeper focus on digital signage,” said Pisano. “It’s a growth category for all of us and one we need to focus on. Our extensive capabilities allow us to compete on any project from the simplest to the most complex.”

Pisano has been with the company for 10 years and is well known in the Pro AV Dealer channel. Pisano helped to craft the idea of the new group along with a cross functional team of Milestone employees.
