BURBANK Feb. 10, 2016 In a move to address increasing North American demand for its solutions, Riedel Communications today announced the appointment of Rick Seegull as the company s manager of systems consultants. In this new position, Seegull himself will serve as a systems consultant while also managing Riedel s growing team of systems consultants. He will be responsible for coordinating his team s efforts with the Riedel sales team; scheduling consultant time for demos, client visits, and system designs; working with Riedel s marketing department to address different vertical markets; and serving on industry panels as a representative of Riedel North America.

"Rick has a strong business development and sales and engineering management background," said Joyce Bente, president of Riedel North America.
