A delighted Dave Barret, VP Sales and Business Development, Ascent 142 commented: "We feel this is a real coup for Ascent 142.

We are dedicated to becoming the number one in our sector and we will continue to invest in industry talent."
Commenting on her appointment, Omosherbi said: "Ascent 142 has a wonderful reputation and impressive creative talent. I'm looking forward to working with them and hopefully adding a different dimension to the grading facility."

For the next ten years, Jet worked as a senior colourist at the Moving Picture Company, Complete Video, SVC Television and later Digital Film Lab. During this time Jet worked with the majority of advertising agencies in London, building an excellent reputation and client following.
Omoshebi is acclaimed for her versatility and has extensive knowledge of telecine machines and grading systems, working on Ursa, C-Reality, Spirit and Millennium scanners with both Pogle and da Vinci 2K and was instrumental in the design and build of Pepper's Spirit Datacine and da Vinci 2K+ suite.
