Vin Bruno Steps Down As CEDIA
Global President/CEO
CEDIA has accepted the resignation of global president/CEO
Vin Bruno, effective immediately, citing that ‘Vin has resigned
in order to focus on new opportunities in the residential
and commercial technology industries, building upon his
distinguished career and service to CEDIA, Crestron, and VCOM
International Multimedia Corporation’.
“On behalf of the Board, the CEDIA team and the global
CEDIA community, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to
Vin for his service and guidance during his tenure as CEO,” said
Dennis Erskine, CEDIA Chairman. “Under Vin’s leadership, we have
completed the goal of global alignment for the organisation and
sold ownership of the CEDIA show to focus on the most important
needs of our members.”
The CEDIA board announced it is to create a strategy and timeline
for appointing a new global president/CEO. Until then, Tabatha
O’Connor, CEDIA’s current COO, will take over Vin’s duties as acting
president/CEO.
“I am confident that working with Tabatha O’Connor,
CEDIA staff and the CEDIA Board, we will continue to focus
on our members first, by delivering quality education, training
and certification, advocating for improvements in workforce
development, building consumer awareness and increasing
industry outreach that will grow business for CEDIA members,”
said Dennis.
“CEDIA is now in a much stronger position than it was 18
months ago. We are grateful for Vin’s many contributions in his
time with us and we wish him the very best for the future. Now,
we are looking forward to a new phase of success for our global
community,” said Tabatha.
Tabatha O’Connor has served as CEDIA’s COO since 2015. She
has worked for CEDIA for 15 years, having previously held the post of
senior director of human resources and finance.
Vin joined CEDIA in September 2015 from his role as marketing
director for Crestron Electronics. Prior to this, he was vice president
for VCOM International Multimedia Corporation, a distributor of
professional AV and digital equipment.
