They understand that a great video conference experience isn't just about the tech — it's about how people feel when they walk into a room and how the remote participants feel on the other end. They can move between configuring a Crestron DSP and explaining to a stakeholder why acoustic panels matter.They are methodical in troubleshooting, data-driven in their approach, and genuinely care about the employee experience. They think globally — comfortable working across time zones, supporting colleagues remotely, and maintaining consistency across a diverse estate.They are a hunter — not someone who waits for tickets.
