Ep. 16 - The Smooth Factor – Blending AV Expertise, Authenticity & Vibes
Description
This week on "Always On The Hunt", Leo speaks with Alesia Hendley, Business Development Manager at Sennheiser, Social Media Influencer, blogger, story teller, advocate for diversity in AV, and at her core, a highly capable sound engineer and technician who still knows how to get hands-on and make systems work.
In this episode, Alesia unpacks how social media and storytelling are reshaping B2B engagement, proving that even in a hardware-driven industry, personality opens doors. From her InfoComm panel engagements to sneaker meetups, Alicia's take on "unconventional" paths will make you rethink how to stand out, and why diversity isn't just a checkbox, but a competitive edge. Alesia dives deep into the evolving landscape of AV and tech, sharing hard-earned wisdom on why relationships and authenticity matter more than specs alone. She highlights the shifting dynamics between manufacturers, consultants, and end-users, and why getting a seat at the design table early is the future of integration. If you are an AV pro, an advocate for change, or interested in joining this ever evolving industry, you'll want to tune in!
