PPDS announced the appointment of Valeriia Polovkova as its new dedicated international project manager for tailored installations in hospitality, corporate and retail.

A self-proclaimed “problem solving specialist”, Valeriia joins PPDS with more than 10 years of AV industry experience — including specialist technical knowledge of Philips displays.

Launched in 2020, PPDS’ IKAM network was created to help overcome historical challenges for businesses with multinational footprints with their AV installations, bringing a global consistency with local expertise, providing dedicated support and a single point of contact for more streamlined, time- and cost-efficient project installations.

With a global reach, Valeriia, as part of the IKAM team, will be responsible for the coordination and successful execution of global projects within corporate, retail and hospitality markets, encompassing strategy, pricing, contracting, pre- and post-sales of products and solutions (hardware, software, brackets, fittings), operations, country-specific taxes, certifications, services and more.

Discussing her appointment as International Key Account Project Manager, Valeriia said: “I’m thrilled to have joined PPDS and to be part of the incredible IKAM team. AV is my passion, and with my previous roles and experiences, all the stars were aligned perfectly for me, with the opportunity to work for such a progressive company as PPDS, in such a unique and exciting role. Too good to miss.”

Valeriia has already played a crucial role at PPDS, beating a number of its competitors to a series of high-value contracts — including, most recently, a multisite installation of more than 400+ digital signage displays — with tenders for more in their final stages.
