Meet Your New CEDIA Board Members: Henry Clifford and Manojkumar Soni.
CEDIA is thrilled to announce that Henry Clifford (USA) and Manojkumar Soni (India) are joining the CEDIA Global Board of Directors for the 2025-2027 term! With an incredible 95% approval rating and a record-breaking 56% increase in member participation, this election saw the highest engagement ever. Our members’ voices were loud and clear, and we’re so excited to welcome these two industry trailblazers to our team to share fresh perspectives and shake things up.
A closer look at our newest board members:
Henry Clifford started in IT during the dot-com boom of the ’90s and went on to found Livewire in 2001, a home technology business that’s grown to become the largest in central Virginia. He’s also co-founded Parasol, a 24/7 remote support network “for integrators, by integrators,” and launched IntegrateU, an industry training platform. Having served on the CEDIA Board from 2017 to 2019, Henry is no stranger to CEDIA’s mission and is ready to dive back in with fresh insights and ideas.
Manojkumar Soni leads AV4U, a top technology integration firm in India, known for its commitment to global standards in AV, automation, and BMS solutions. As an active CEDIA volunteer, certified trainer, and Smart Home CPD Provider, Manoj has been instrumental in shaping CEDIA’s presence in India and influencing international video standards through his work on the CEDIA RP23 committee. His expertise and passion for excellence make him a perfect fit for our global board.
Welcome Henry and Manojkumar! We can’t wait to see what they bring to the table as we continue to champion the growth and impact of the smart home industry.
