Evans comes to Digital Projection with an impressive display technology sales history, dating back to 1991. Most recently, he was the director of sales and product marketing for Akira Display Corporation. In this role, Evans worked to grow the Akira brand by establishing a worldwide network of representatives, introducing and promoting new products via targeted sales and marketing campaigns and by building strategic OEM relationships with other manufacturing partners.
