Atlona has announced Steve Bogart as its new business development manager for the education market in North America effective immediately, bringing his AV/IT and sales experience to the K-12 and higher education markets. He joins the company following roles at Harman and WolfVision, where he served as IT manager.
“The strength of the customer relationship is absolutely critical in the education vertical,” says Adam Griffin, director of sales and business development in North America. “Atlona created this position for the purpose of having a customer advocate for the education market. Steve’s consultative sales approach strikes the right balance between how technology upgrades align with budgets and developing an effective classroom infrastructure.”
His duties include specifying and providing programs and platforms for an education market that has undergone significant changes since the pandemic. “The hybrid learning model is here to stay and schools are finding out that some students learn better in a hybrid environment,” Bogart says. “Supporting that from an educational perspective will be critical going forward.”
One important support component will be the relaunch of Atlona’s educational alliance program (Ed Tech VIP), which provides financial incentives to education customers along with design assistance, evaluation gear, technical support and more. “With Steve’s input and experience, Atlona is well-positioned to guide customers through all phases of a technology refresh to modernize learning spaces, including systems design, configuration and installation through to post-launch support,” Griffin concludes.

Our core brand vision is to improve technology for the sharing of ideas, through innovative AV products used every day in a wide variety of commercial and educational applications.
