Quantel expands Middle East operations
20 July 2010: Quantel is delighted to announce that Thomas Birner, Director of Sales for Central Europe, has also been appointed Director of Sales for the Middle East. In his newly expanded role, Birner is responsible for building Quantel’s market presence throughout the Middle East alongside his existing responsibility for Central Europe.
“The Middle East is a thriving, dynamic and highly innovative market with many exacting broadcast requirements – speed to air, efficiency, multi-channel content distribution and the move to HD broadcasting,” said Birner. “Quantel Enterprise sQ systems meet all these needs as well as providing a versatile platform for further innovations, and I’m looking forward to bringing all these benefits to the Middle East’s forward-looking broadcasters.”
Initially, Birner will concentrate Quantel’s efforts on flagship reference projects in the Middle East, a number of which are coming to fruition in the next few months. “This will provide the basis for building a stronger presence in the region, providing sustained success for the longer term across a broader range of projects and countries within the region,” Birner concluded.
“Thanks to the unique virtues of our broadcast and post production technologies, Quantel is growing very strongly in all our established markets,” said Martin Mulligan, Quantel Worldwide Sales and Marketing Director. “Thomas Birner’s knowledge, energy and commitment will help to deliver in the short term and also build the long-term relationships that will confirm Quantel as a major player in the broadcast business in the Middle East.” |
