CEDIA Names Giles Sutton, Kory Dickerson Interim Co-CEOs

CEDIA has announced that Giles Sutton, senior vice president of Member Success and Sales, and Kory Dickerson, senior vice president of Operations, will step up to take over as interim co-CEOs, replacing Tabatha O’Connor who departs the Association in January.

“The appointment of Interim Co-CEOs, elevated from within CEDIA’s Senior Management Team, sends a strong message of continuity, experience, and leadership to the CEDIA community,” says Rob Sutherland, CEDIA Board chair.

“Giles and Kory have been part of a staff team that has worked tirelessly in response to the COVID-19 crisis to help members stay informed and connected. Together, they have a depth of operational and financial expertise, industry awareness, and valuable experience in member engagement that can continue to take CEDIA forward until the time a new CEO is appointed.”

CEDIA Co-CEOs to Help Continue Initiatives During Transition

Sutton has led the drive for increasing member engagement around the world, facilitating strong partnerships across the industry, and delivering value-add initiatives and programs for CEDIA members, according to the association announcement.

Before joining CEDIA, he spent 13 years as an integrator and served as chair on the CEDIA EMEA Board, prior to global alignment, and later treasurer and vice chair of the CEDIA Global Board. He has also represented CEDIA members on the Membership Advisory Council and the Governance and Finance Committees.

Before CEDIA, Dickerson worked for more than seven years at the healthcare insurance company Anthem, most in the role of director of Corporate Accounting and Analysis. He also served as Controller and chief accounting officer of a financial services organization and as a manager with the global professional services firm Deloitte.

Sutton and Dickerson will collaborate closely with the CEDIA Board executive committee, the CEDIA Board and global CEDIA staff, operating with clearly defined responsibilities in their new roles, the association states. Their focus will remain the implementation of the CEDIA strategic plan with its pillars around education, workforce development, and cross-industry collaboration. 

O’Connor is working with Sutton and Dickerson in the short-term to ensure a seamless transition. The interim co-CEOs will remain in place until the global search for a new president and CEO is completed, CEDIA says.
