AU #291: Scaling Success: Building a Nationwide AV Workforce with Frank Papayianis

This is Automation Unplugged and I’m Ron Callis. Our guest today is Frank Papayianis, CEO of Atlantis UGS. Frank initially founded Atlantis Partners in 2006, focusing on audio visual engineering and design subcontracting for integrators. By 2008, the company expanded its services to include AV installation technicians, quickly establishing itself as the only subcontracting company in the NY Metro area solely dedicated to commercial AV systems. Fast forward to 2024, Atlantis Partners acquired UGS, its primary competitor, creating a powerhouse now known as Atlantis UGS. Today, the company employs full-time technicians across multiple markets, including the NY Metro area, North Carolina, Florida, and California.
