Atlona announced that it has named Mountain AV Marketing as its manufacturer’s sales representative firm for Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado, where it is primarily focused on traditional commercial AV channels and working to strengthen Atlona’s presence in the corporate, government, and higher education markets.

Henley has almost 30 years of commercial AV experience as both an independent manufacturer’s representative as well as an AV systems integrator. “There is a real benefit understanding what the end customer’s schedule looks like and how partner can best support their timelines for delivery and installation,” he states. “They can also trust that I’m bringing them a manufacturer in Atlona that will respect the timelines we have set. My goal is to help my customers understand how a specific piece of gear or software will work in a larger system, which is why I spend time learning how new technologies function in real-world environments.”
Henley is now attending Atlona Academy, the company’s online training platform, to earn his certification for the company’s Velocity control, room scheduling, and asset management system. He is also in regular contact with his regional Atlona representative to remain up to date on the company’s latest technologies.
