Election Year 2024 - Sheon Harvey Presidency Contender

Sheon Harvey, a Regional Sales Manager at AVer USA, has made a name for herself in the Pro AV industry. With a background in psychology from San Jose State University, Harvey's journey in the tech world may have seemed unexpected, but it has proven to be a successful one.

Initially, Harvey aimed to become a marriage and family therapist. However, her passion for technology, rooted in her father's computer-building hobby, led her to a different path. In 2014, Harvey joined AVer as a sales and marketing specialist, a role that quickly evolved as she became a member of the videoconferencing team.

In her early days at AVer, Harvey was not the most qualified candidate for the position. However, her determination and passion for the work shone through. In 2016, the videoconferencing team at AVer made $2 million. Fast forward to today, and the team has more than tripled in size, with revenue jumping to an impressive $20 million within three years.

Harvey's success is not solely her own. She believes that her team's success is a reflection of her own. "When my team is successful, I am successful," she says. This philosophy, combined with her advocacy for gender parity in the AV industry, has made Harvey a respected figure in the field.

AVer, too, has been recognised for its commitment to gender parity. The company was nominated for a gender parity award due to its representation of women in the Pro AV industry. Harvey, who has seen a shift in this direction every year, is a strong advocate for the AV workforce to include more women.

Before her role as Regional Sales Manager at AVer USA, Harvey lived in the Chicago metropolitan area. Today, she is based in San Jose, CA. Despite the challenges she faced in finding a job in the Bay Area with her psychology degree, Harvey has now been working at AVer USA for seven years.

Knowledge, Harvey believes, is power in the AV industry due to the constant changes in technology. As a Regional Sales Manager, she is at the forefront of these changes, driving AVer's success in the Pro AV industry. Harvey's story is a testament to the power of passion, determination, and a willingness to adapt to change.
