ATLANTA – PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips Professional TV and Digital Signage products, is
thrilled to announce the appointment of Scott Adams, as its new Director of Hospitality.

With more than 25 years of Pro AV hospitality experience, Scott is one of the most knowledgeable Hospitality
Sales professionals in the field and will play a key role in PPDS’ ambitions to become the ‘brand of choice’ for
the hospitality industry in North America.

Scott, a US Air Force veteran, has held several high-profile senior sales management roles at leading technology
organizations during his career, including Philips, having originally joined the company back in 1995, spending
15-years as a Regional Sales Manager. His return to PPDS also sees him reunite with Joe King, VP, PPDS
Commercial Display, North America.

Commenting on the appointment, Joe said: “Scott brings a deep understanding of the industry and proven
track record of what it takes to provide growth and unparalleled service to our clients. He will help us drive
solutions for our clients through our ever-evolving range of dedicated Philips pro TVs, digital signage, and LED
displays customized for all market verticals.”

Scott’s responsibilities in the newly created position include – but not limited to – developing and executing the
company’s hospitality strategy, forming new partnerships with the AV channel (resellers, integrators, distributors and franchise owners), and communicating the outstanding benefits of its newly launched, market
advancing and experience enhancing range of 4K, Chromecast built in, Philips MediaSuite pro Android TVs.

A new era for hotel TVs begins
Scott hailed the new Philips MediaSuite pro TV range as an “unparalleled game changer” for the hospitality
industry. This new offering, alongside PPDS’ ambitions and devotion to customer service, was a key factor in his
return to the Philips brand.

He also becomes a crucial member of PPDS’s newly assembled ‘International Key Account Management’
(IKAM) team and strategy – a program created to provide a single point-of-contact to seamlessly support
customers in executing their projects, whether on a national or international scale across multiple locations.

“With my new role at PPDS, I’ve come full circle in my career and am thrilled to be part of this team to use my
knowledge and experience to help the company achieve its ambitions,” commented Adams.

“The hospitality market presents clear and significant opportunities for PPDS, and with the arrival of Philips
MediaSuite, coupled with our growing list of third-party partnerships, including Google™ and Netflix™, I believe
there will not be a stronger solution and package available anywhere in the current market. The MediaSuite
product checks every box for both quality and functionality to customers and end-users. The reaction has been
incredible.”
