PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips Professional Displays, has appointed Nicole Rutherford as event marketing specialist for North America, based in Hudson, Florida.
Rutherford brings more than 10 years of experience across B2B marketing, project management and event execution. Beginning her career as a teacher, she transitioned into marketing in 2021 and has since built a track record in delivering growth for local and international organisations. She will report to Megan Lipinczyk, director of North America marketing at PPDS.
In her new role, Rutherford will support PPDS’s day-to-day marketing efforts with a focus on events, partner engagement and sales enablement – coordinating logistics for trade shows and regional events, managing marketing assets and supporting digital and social content.
Lipinczyk said: “Since walking through the door, Nicole has demonstrated a highly organised, proactive and detail-driven approach to marketing execution, with core strengths in event planning, cross-functional communication and attention to detail.”
Bruce Wyrwitzke, senior director North America at PPDS, added: “It’s not about bringing in the person with the most experience in AV – it’s about adding the best talent for our needs. Nicole’s background and extensive interchangeable skills made her the ideal candidate for this important role.”
Rutherford will be present on the Philips booth C9000 at InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas, June 17-19.
