Fitzgerald comes to Blustream US from Nortek Control, where he was Product Manager for a range of video distribution brands, including Gefen, Xantech, and ELAN. He began his career in the AV industry with Gefen, developing solutions that grew the brand's international footprint. In his new role, he is tasked with driving the development of Blustream products for the US market, product marketing, sales engineering, video distribution training, and advanced technical support.

"Blustream AV distribution solutions combine in-demand features with mission-critical quality that has been proven globally in major installations," said Fitzgerald. "I'm truly excited to play a role in building the Blustream solutions offering for the US market."
