Blair Parkin has joined integrated technology consulting firm TEECOM as EMEA principal, based in Brighton, UK. He will lead TEECOM’s technology services for the EMEA region, continuing the firm’s expanding business in Munich, Berlin, Dublin, Amsterdam, and London.
Parkin was previously the MD at Visual Acuity, and has also spent 8 years at Barco during a 30-year career in AV.
Joining TEECOM, which has its headquarters in Oakland, California, USA, gives Parkin and his team direct access to the emerging technologies of Silicon Valley as well as a deep bench of technology talent able to support the design, documentation, and project management of innovative projects worldwide.
"One of the many reasons I’m excited to be a part of TEECOM is that we can sit at the table and bring seamless coordination to the client, which means we can streamline and speed the process whether you’re designing a new office, attraction, planetarium. The most innovative, ground-breaking concepts can be turned into reality from within a single team," says Parkin.
Parkin first collaborated with TEECOM on the multi-award-winning California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, California, USA, which is the largest all-digital dome in the world. His project and client history also includes Bloomberg, The British Museum, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Procter & Gamble.
