Tyler Lemery - Product Manager, Room Control Enterprise Team Tyler Lemery is part of the Room Control Enterprise Team, serving as Product Manager for O3 Edge and Sense, the Proviso provisioning app, and the upcoming occupant app, Seymour. Tyler started in our Technical Services department, working as a System Specialist. A handful of years as a Specialist and then Team Lead allowed him to work closely with all of Delta Controls' products, build connections with the Partnership, and act as a field liaison to several internal teams. At the end of 2022, after several months of contemplation, he jumped into Product Management. While meetings, external communication, documentation, and planning take a good chunk of his workday, he tries to set aside time to research new technologies and explore new integrations and applications for products in his portfolio. "Discovery is finding fresh ways to approach problems, both old and new, through innovation and collaboration." The primary focus for Tyler these days is the Seymour occupant app – so get ready to Discover lots about it during this event! It may surprise you that Tyler is a basement musician who loves electric guitars, synths, and drum machines - most days end with a little bit of dad rock in the 'studio.' You may heed his warning for those considering the hobby - pairing a love of technology and gear with a love of music is a great way to drain your wallet endlessly! Cue the cash register, SFX.

Andy Beaveridge - HVAC Enterprise Product Manager It's been 22 years since HVAC Enterprise Product Manager Andy Beaveridge entered the controls industry. It's gone by quickly, and he's worn many hats, serving as Software QA Test Lead, Delta System Specialist, Project Manager and Application Engineer, Control System Specialist Lead and Product Manager, culminating in a Red5 focus. His name is synonymous with Red5 and the Red5 product family. Spending much of his time reviewing product requirements, writing product vision and scope documentation, and reviewing product features, he ensures our products meet customer needs. To Andy, Discovery is all about gaining experience, learning about new things and gaining knowledge. It's critical to innovation because, "gaining experience opens the mind and provides the knowledge to grow and do new things." Andy is halfway through his Pragmatic Product Management Certification – he will complete it this year. If you know Andy, it probably wouldn't surprise you to learn that he plays guitar in various punk/metal bands and bass in a Kiss tribute band. Rock on, Andy!
