October 16, 2025
PPDS has appointed AV sales specialists and education tech expert Emily Pirtle for the newly-created role of regional sales manager for the markets of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas.
Pirtle has over 20 years of AV and sales experience, according to a press release. The four growth markets represent over 3.5 million small businesses and opportunities.
She is a certified math and intervention specialist and boasts a unique 360 degree understanding of the education market. Having started her career in the classroom as a teacher, Pirtle later transitioned into education tech sales. Her previous role at a leading AV integration firm saw her supporting over 45 school districts across Texas and Oklahoma.
"I feel all roads in my career have led me to this moment. PPDS is part of a globally respected brand, with a legacy of introducing world first and cutting edge technologies. What truly stood out to me, though, was the opportunity to work with talented, driven, and genuinely collaborative people. I'm so pleased to be joining the team and to be part of its success," Pirtle said in the release.
She will report to Bruce Wyrwitzke, director of sales for North America at PPDS.
"Emily's experience, enthusiasm, and proven commitment to best practice business made her the ideal candidate for this important and exciting role. Texas alone provides some incredible growth opportunities, with the state remaining one of the most resilient and high performing in the US, adding over 125,000 new businesses in 2024**. The education market is also key for us, and Emily's edutech expertise brings our partners and customers a real wealth of support and knowledge," Wyrwitzke said in the release.
