About The Speaker
Elias Ventura
Mid-Atlantic Region for HKI
I'm Elias Ventura, a Car Guy at heart, since I was a child and teen years, I knew I wanted to work with anything car related from an early age. I currently work for HKI USA, which represents SounDigital, Ground Zero, Four Connect and TURY Products in the US. I currently cover the Mid-Atlantic Region for HKI, assisting in Training and assisting with Key Accounts. October of this year will be my 17th Year as a 12 Volt Professional. I started in the industry by attending a Car Audio School, Mobile Dynamics in Tempe, Arizona in 2004-2005. In 2005 I got my official start in the Industry at Tweeter, a regional consumer electronics chain store that did Home and Car Audio. I started at Tweeter as an Apprentice Installer, evolved into a Salesperson, and got my first start in Management there. I've had the opportunity to work in different Car Audio Shops which has allowed me to see all aspects of stores, from Small Boutique to Small-Large Chain Stores. In 2017 I was awarded the SalesPro Award by my industry and peers, a surreal and humbling experience. Winning this award has inspired me to give back something that I enjoy doing, from teaching at various KnowledgeFest Events, Regional Distributor Events to Co-Running a Facebook Group "12V SalesPros". I have also made it to the Top 5 Sales Reps for the 2024 industry awards. This Industry has given me so much, I have made it my passion to teach, influence and give back by helping others daily.
