OTTAWA — Broadcast technology solution provider Ross Video announced today Mark Gardner (above) has joined the company as its new director of sales for the EMEA North region.
Gardner’s previous experience in the broadcast industry includes R&D/engineering, product management and sales management/director roles with a number of brands including Vistek, ProBel, Snell, SAM and most recently Grass Valley.
“Our industry has experienced an enormous amount of upheaval and change over the last five years,” said Gardner, in a press release announcing his appointment. “Throughout that period, Ross has consistently grown and built up an enviable profile in the region. I can’t think of any other company in our sector that has doubled its regional turnover in three years and grown its team by one third.
“It’s clear that the company is walking a very positive path and I’ve been hugely impressed with the ambition, expertise and warmth of everyone I’ve met,” he adds. “I’m very much looking forward to sharing our partnership approach and our latest innovations with an increasing number of customers in the region. It’s going to be another significant year of new solution launches, and I’m raring to get started!”
Ross Video’s recently promoted senior vice-president of global sales, Oscar Juste, says: “Mark is a well-known and popular figure in the industry, and he will play an important role in helping Ross expand our customer base in these well-established and competitive broadcast markets. We will also need his expertise as we continue developing into other sectors and industries, broadening our footprint and proposing innovative new solutions to the creative, business and technical challenges faced by content creators everywhere. I am delighted to welcome Mark, and I am confident he will add further strength and depth to Ross Team EMEA.”
