SHOW NOTES

In this episode, Kathleen and I discussed:

  • Her lifelong connection to the AV industry and how it shaped her leadership style
  • What it means to advocate for integrators inside a global company like Sony
  • The innovations driving Sony’s CI business, from projectors and receivers to cutting-edge RGB backlight technology
  • And how she balances corporate leadership with her passion for creativity, community, and good food in Portland, Oregon

Kathleen’s story is a powerful reminder that leadership is about listening, learning, and lifting others as you grow. Her energy, experience, and love for this channel shine through every part of our conversation.

So settle in and enjoy my conversation with Kathleen Thomas. Let’s get started!
