With over 25 years of experience in the media and entertainment space - most recently as VP of Sales EMEA at Grass Valley - Tim Banks has been in the interim CRO role for the past six months. Over his years at Grass Valley, Tim has established an exceptional sales and pre-sales presence in-region and has achieved impressive rates of revenue and market-share growth. I'm very proud of GV's past and very excited by our future as we continue to help our customers create new revenue streams and drive operational efficiencies, leading the way through the media and entertainment industry's ongoing digital transformation .
Marek Kielczewski comes to Grass Valley with over 20 years of industry experience in running engineering organizations in the broadcast, media, and entertainment segments. Prior to joining Grass Valley, Marek co-founded TVCoins, a streaming media startup. He was previously also CTO of SeaChange (NASDAQ: SEAC) where he led the consolidation and transformation of the global R&D organization. I am thrilled to be joining Grass Valley at such a pivotal time - not only in their journey, but the industry's as well. Our new product strategy will have an incredible impact on our current and future customers and will realize the full potential of AMPP - it's truly an exciting time for all of us! , says Marek.
