Vendor and Trade Management: Coordinate with general contractors, electricians, low-voltage partners, OEMs, and field technicians to align site readiness, installation windows, and customer expectations. 

Process Improvement: Identify recurring delivery friction points and help improve project playbooks, handoff practices, communication standards, and reporting discipline. 

Mentorship: Support and mentor AV project managers by modeling strong communication, project controls, customer ownership, and project recovery practices.
