Grass Valley Add 'IT Expert' To Their Team

Reflecting the growing importance of IT in the broadcast world, Grass Valley has brought in a leading IT solutions expert to add to its European capabilities.
Arnaud de Lagabbe brings experience in consulting, IT, and media to his new role as sales manager for southern Europe.
Arnaud de Lagabbe started his career in IT, first with the consultancy and research group Gartner. Later he was highly successful in strategic alliance and partnership management with Sun MicroSystems before spotting the potential of the broadcast and media sector. In 2007, he joined the EMEA enterprise accounts team at Avid, developing strong skills in converged solutions which he now brings to Grass Valley in his new role. His territory at Avid included Spain, Italy, and France – he speaks French and Spanish, as well as English – and is already immersed in the media business in his new role at Grass Valley.
"I am absolutely delighted to welcome Arnaud to the Grass Valley team," said Francoise Semin, Vice President of the Southern portion of Europe, Middle East, Africa for Grass Valley.
"He brings unrivalled experience right across the convergence of IT and broadcasting, where Grass Valley offers extensive solutions to help our customers meet their challenges and goals. He is as well connected in the market as he is technically savvy, and I am confident he will lead our efforts in southern Europe as he works closely with our clients to deliver the solutions their businesses demand."
Arnaud de Lagabbe joined Grass Valley at the beginning of April 2012.
