PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips professional TVs and Digital Signage solutions, is delighted to announce further strengthening to its national sales force, with the appointment of highly experienced AV sales and team leader, Dave Dahm, as its new Regional Manager for Hospitality.
Part of PPDS’ continued growth and expansion strategy in North America, Dave brings more than 15-years of specialist AV sales knowledge and experience to the newly created position, having previously held successful sales management and leadership roles at several leading AV organizations – including Peerless, Optoma Technology, and Pivium during his AV career.
Reporting to Joe King, VP, Hospitality, Dave is the latest addition to PPDS’s dedicated and vastly experienced hospitality team, following the company’s sensational return to the industry earlier this year with the launch of its game-changing, Philips MediaSuite smart TV range.
Tune in to the future of hotel TVs
His key responsibilities as Regional Manager include continuing to accelerate national awareness of the PPDS
brand and the unparalleled value and benefits – including front end entertainment and back-end control and
management – provided by Philips MediaSuite, the first smart TV built exclusively for the hotel room
experience, featuring Chromecast built-in™ and embedded Netflix™. He will also be tasked with working closely
with the AV channel, forming new and extending strategic relationships with hotel chains and groups in the US
and Canada, while working closely with existing AV resellers and adding new ones.
Innovate, not replicate
Commenting on his appointment, Dave said: “I am thrilled to have joined PPDS at such an exciting time for the business. PPDS is a company that prides itself on taking a leadership approach with all its products and solutions, preferring to innovate rather than replicate, which really sets it apart. This has arguably never been more evident than with its new Philips MediaSuite hotel TV range.”
He continued: “Guests want more out of their entertainment experience and with Philips MediaSuite, we have a truly unique solution that gives the guest what they want and the hotelier what they need. The opportunities are incredible and I am excited to be part of the team introducing this great product to the market.”
Joe King added: “We’re delighted to welcome Dave to our ever-growing and strengthening hospitality team. With our unparalleled quality of service, backed with a truly market-leading offering in Philips MediaSuite, PPDS has truly raised the bar for hotel TVs. We’re excited that Dave has joined us in our strategy to bring greater value to hotels and guests across North America.”
