Crescendo Designs president and co-founder Chris Brody has been named one of the “2011 Young Turks of CE” by CustomRetailer, a leading business strategy magazine for the residential A/V and automation integration electronics professional.

Celebrating “the industry’s best and brightest who are shaping the products and services of today and tomorrow,” Chris was selected as a winner in the publication’s second-annual competition for helping to “transform Crescendo Designs into one of the leading designers and installers of high-end home technology from Manhattan to Montauk.” An entrepreneur who began his retail career in technology more than a decade ago when he started an online A/V company, Chris moved into the luxury residential market in 2002 when he founded Crescendo with his brother Mike.

Now, according to the magazine’s January profile, “Crescendo Designs introduces the latest programs to help homeowners control everything from lighting to the hot tub’s temperature remotely by downloading an app for their iPhone or logging onto Crescendo’s homepage.” Contact Chris now.
