Sales Director Wholesale & Broadcasting Markets Benelux
Broomfield, Colorado, Us
Lumen Technologies (formerly known as CenturyLink) acquired Level 3 Communications in 2017. Level 3 built, owned and operated the world's largest fiber optic network - on which it provided internet access (IP Transit), content delivery (CDN), high capacity transport, video distribution, enterprise network and many other services - to support organizations that move high volumes of data - like telecom carriers, internet service providers, hosting companies, broadcasting & media companies, governments and international corporations.After the acquisition of GIobal Crossing by Level 3 I ran a Sales team in the Benelux that combined maximizing Level 3's market leader position in the mature Wholesale telecom market for Data and Internet services with building a new business in the Broadcast market with video oriented cloud services (video transport, storage, encoding/transcoding, content delivery).In this and previous roles in Global Crossing I have developed a deep understanding of colocation, dark fiber, wavelengths, (virtual) private lines, corporate network (VPN services), IP Transit, peering, Content Delivery Network, storage, fiber based video transport and encoding/transcoding services and associated contracting negotiations, market trends and technologies.I'm well respected in an extensive contact network throughout Europe with incumbent telecom carriers, alternative carriers, Internet Service Providers, Internet Exchanges, webhosters and resellers, as well as in a global contact network of trusted telecom contacts. Since 2011 I have established contacts and generated new business with broadcasters, (post)production companies and other service providers in the Benelux broadcast markets.
