When COVID grounded 14,000 in-person workshops, VAAV stood up the architecture that took the company global-digital in 144 hours. Nine voices below, from Strategic Ops VP to Principal Platform Architect to AGT-finalist talent — all describing the same week.
Vincent was instrumental in moving our 14,000 in-person Workshops to virtual during COVID-19. Vincent identified creative solutions that made the end-user experience easier and more efficient. His response was always: “As long as things are working and our members are getting the services they need, all is good.” Calm under pressure, customer-first, positive mindset — that’s not always easy to find.
Vincent is the most talented AV Architect that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. He started at WW right before Covid changed the world and was able to become an important player in the transition of ‘old to new’. In just 3 short weeks of a tireless work schedule he was able to help WW go completely digital, transforming the way that workshops, meetings, and classes were done. His work helped catapult WW into global recognition where they are currently up for 3 Webby awards. Aside from his technical acumen Vincent is an all-around good person who has the personality of a talk show host! You cant go wrong if you’re partnering with Vince on anything!
It has been a pleasure to work alongside Vincent, who showed calmness and focus under pressure, agility, and attention to detail. All the while managing to bring his own level of innovation and ideas into the mix in a short amount of time. I can easily say he is best in class for Audio & Visual communications.
Vincent and I worked together on developing new digital display technologies across corporate and retail locations for WW. He continually brought innovative strategic thinking, in-depth knowledge of the current capabilities landscape and a collaborative attitude that moved the project forward with exciting speed and confidence.
Vincent was instrumental in helping WW move from physical studios to virtual studio experience in under 6 days! His work ethic, expertise, and attention to detail made the project a huge success. Vincent is trustworthy, reliable, and a great personality to work with as well.
My group had the pleasure of working with Vincent for a virtual performance for Weight Watchers (WW). He is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but he is patient and very easy to work with.
I worked with Vincent at WW during the COVID-19 pandemic and when our entire business was operating virtually. Vincent was incredibly helpful to me during this time, always making himself available when I had questions or ran into tech issues. Navigating this environment was certainly challenging and stressful but Vincent was consistently my go-to person for tech and made everything run far smoother.
Vincent joined WW at a most unprecedented time when we transitioned our business from physical to “virtual” in response to Covid-19. His adaptability, subject matter expertise and positive nature made him a pleasure to work with.
Highly accomplished and dedicated professional. Vincent has steel-clad dedication to service and results while maintaining the highest customer service possible. Over the last 2 months Vincent has proven mastery over Zoom virtual studio project working tirelessly. Supported full business operations during the coronavirus event ensuring seamless AV on all platforms at WW.
Lighting design, sound design, stage management, technical direction. Twenty years of being the go-to in rooms where heart and craft sit side-by-side.
There is no shortage of technical expertise in New York when it comes to the theatre. But there are few people who bring heart, soul, and a feeling of community to their work. Vincent has been my go-to guy for off- and off-off-Broadway shows for several years now and has never disappointed. The beauty of his lighting and sound design transport you into the immersive worlds I always try to create.
Vincent designed lighting and sound for my theatre company’s first productions. He worked with my meager budget and helped me — as a newbie to the theatre world — understand what was needed to bring the moods and tones of the production forward. He also stepped in when tough interpersonal situations with theatre administration and cast arose, even though it was not part of his job description. He is the very definition of a team player. He is the go-to guy for all my productions since the first day.
Vincent did wonders for our last production. Complete setup and breakdown of lighting gear and truly custom to our rather unique request for our Christmas cantata. Definitely my go-to for lighting.
Vincent has a passion for technical excellence and a desire to see events underpinned with high quality production quality.
Studio-grade livestreams, multi-stakeholder broadcasts, and the long-running production-house engagements where the broadcast was supposed to be invisible — and was.
We’re glad it all worked out. Thank you Vincent and team!
Thank you so much for arranging this. It was incredibly valuable and helpful. Much appreciated.
Vincent and I have worked together for several years. He is a consummate professional. I highly recommend him.
Before the broadcast cases, before the studios — the IT/AV architecture work that gets called when an organization needs the room to actually function. Pfizer ELT support, full office stand-ups, AV/IT direction.
Vincent has always been tremendously helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to our IT needs. He has twice set up entire offices for us and orchestrated the move. He’s got vendor contacts and knows what an organization needs to get up and running. I highly recommend him!
I highly recommend Vincent if you’re looking for a Director of/for your needs with IT, audio/visual engineer, and web design!
I worked with Vincent for a short time. He quickly showed his competency. He is a quick learner and displays an ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and dedicated technology support professional.
Vincent Allen has a very diverse background. He was part of my team as an Executive Support Technician at Pfizer. I was very impressed by his IT knowledge and skills, and he demonstrated to be a fast learner, and customer service oriented. He supported Pfizer ELT colleagues with technical needs and escalated tasks in a timely manner. Based on my experience with Vincent, he earns my highest recommendation.
Time after time, I’ve been impressed by Vincent’s creativity, wit, and professionalism. His technology skills and ability to quickly fix problems make him a valuable and trusted professional that I’m confident relying on.
Vincent was a great employee. Always available to lend a hand, and reliable to address and solve problems. He took pride in thinking outside the box and drawing on his extensive experience when faced with difficult situations. It was a pleasure working with him.
