On Episode #88 of the Residential Tech Talks podcast, Ken Johnson joins us from Chicago, where he is owner and president of Premiere Systems, a home integration firm of 65 employees serving both the Chicago, IL and Naples, FL markets. Premiere Systems and Bozeman-Montana-based SAV Digital Environments earlier this month completed their acquisition of Xssentials in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and the launch of a new firm called Premiere SAV to better serve the ever-expanding needs of those in that area of the country.
Mergers and acquisitions in the CEDIA channel are relatively rare, so we invited Johnson on the podcast to explain how this particular partnership came together and to learn about his 27 years running his own company and how his partnership with SAV Digital Environments’ Cory Riestad developed through an exclusive alliance of veteran home integrators, called The Guild.
