Kinsey Fabrizio has been promoted to the position of President of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). Fabrizio previously served as CTA Senior Vice President, CES and Membership. In this new role, she will speak for the association on all matters, sit on the Executive Board, and will be responsible for the CES, CTA Membership, CTA Conferences, and Marketing and Communications departments. Gary Shapiro, current president and CEO, will relinquish the president title but will continue to serve as CEO, and Fabrizio will continue to report to Shapiro.
“This well-deserved promotion reflects not only Kinsey’s many successes, excellent judgment and industry knowledge, but her executive leadership,” said Gary Shapiro, CEO. “I am thrilled for Kinsey as she is the obvious choice for president.”
“This decision, supported unanimously by our board, resulted from years of careful succession planning and mentoring,” said Pat Lavelle, Voxx CEO, Chairman of the CTA Compensation Committee and CTA Industry Executive Advisor. “Kinsey’s hard work, successes, get-it-done and positive attitude propelled her to president. I am thrilled with the deep talent bench of CTA staff allowing us to confidently make this decision.”
Fabrizio joined the CTA in 2008 in the membership department and quickly grew in the position, leading successful efforts to expand CTA into several new areas including disruptive innovation, content, and digital health. She was promoted to vice president membership in 2019 and led a major membership model and dues restructure in 2021. She became senior vice president in 2022 and added the responsibility for overseeing CES sales, which expanded dramatically under her leadership. In 2023 she added responsibility for all of CES, including international media events, conferences, and show operations.
“Kinsey represents the best of CTA,” said Deena Ghazarian, chairwoman of the CTA Executive Board and Founder and CEO of Austere. “Her thoughtful style of leadership is respected across the organization and produces results. CTA is well-positioned for the future!”
Fabrizio graduated from George Mason University in 2003 with a double major in Government and International Politics and Spanish and completed her MBA from the University of Maryland Global Campus in 2022. Before joining CTA, she worked at Smith Bucklin, an association management company. She lives in Arlington, Virginia with her supportive husband, two wonderful children, and dog Rocco.
