Vanco International LLC just hired Thomas Oliver as director of commercial AV. A sales executive with decades of experience in audiovisual industry, Oliver will be charged with forging partnerships and meeting the needs of distributors and dealers in the Vanco ecosystem.

Oliver began in the AV industry in 1986. He worked at Circuit City and Best Buy before founding his own integration firm. Following the growth and successful sale of this business, Oliver transitioned to manufacturing with roles at Crestron and Legrand.

Most recently as director of sales at Legrand, Oliver managed a nationwide team of territory managers and independent reps. He was also directly responsible for partnerships with key distributors and dealers across North America.

“Vanco has a wide range of cost-effective solutions for the commercial marketplace, from our award-winning all-in-one videoconferencing bar to best-of-breed HDMI extension and distribution technologies,” says Mark Corbin, President of Vanco. “Tom’s wealth of industry experience and relationships will help us bring these solutions to a wider audience than ever before.”

As a former integrator with extensive experience in commercial and residential audiovisual systems design, Oliver aims to be a conduit between the manufacturer and its partners at Vanco.

“Building strong relationships on a foundation of trust and responsiveness has been my north star throughout my career,” says Oliver. “I am excited to continue my journey at Vanco, a brand well-known for practical innovation, top notch quality and service, and attention to dealers’ needs.”
