PSNI Global Alliance, the world’s leading network of premier AV technology integrators and service providers, has announced this year’s winners of its prestigious “Best Places to Work in AV” awards: PCC and ClarkPowell. Notably, both organisations are women-led, marking an inspiring milestone in the programme’s seven-year history.
PCC, led by Samantha Haun, was recognised as the top workplace for organisations with under 50 employees, while ClarkPowell, under the leadership of Kathi Cline, earned the title for companies with over 50 employees.
More than 2,500 employees from PSNI’s Certified Solution Provider (CSP) network – spanning over 65 countries – participated in the annual survey. The results evaluate key workplace factors including culture, leadership, growth opportunities, and overall employee satisfaction.
Chris Miller, executive director of PSNI Global Alliance, said: “We’re thrilled to recognise two outstanding women-led organisations with this year’s awards. Their leadership exemplifies what it means to foster a positive, engaging workplace where employees feel valued and connected. People are at the heart of any successful organisation, and PCC and ClarkPowell have set the standard for excellence.”
For ClarkPowell, this year’s recognition builds on its legacy of workplace excellence, having previously earned the award in multiple years. “We are deeply honoured to once again earn this incredible distinction,” said Kathi Cline, president of ClarkPowell. “At ClarkPowell, our commitment to collaboration and growth is at the heart of everything we do, and we strive to ensure every team member feels valued and supported. This recognition from PSNI is a testament to the extraordinary dedication, passion, and teamwork that define our organisation. We couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together.”
Samantha Haun, president and majority owner of PCC, echoed the sentiment: “This award is a reflection of our incredible team and the culture we’ve built together. Supporting, motivating, and trusting one another is at the core of what we do, and this acknowledgment will continue to inspire us as we move forward. We’re deeply grateful to PSNI for this honour.”
PSNI’s “Best Places to Work in AV” awards are not just a celebration of winning companies – they serve as a benchmark for the entire AV industry, highlighting the impact of strong leadership, employee engagement, and positive workplace culture. Through programmes like this, PSNI continues to champion organisational excellence, helping its network of certified solution providers grow stronger together.
