With over 20 years of experience in the cable TV, AV and hospitality industries, I am a seasoned leader and strategist who delivers growth and transformation through technology-based solutions. As the General Manager and Business Development expert at Teleste Intercept, I am responsible for setting up the joint venture in the USA and expanding our market share with the major cable TV operators in North America. My in-depth knowledge of video delivery over IP/RF, optical test equipment, home networking and automation enables me to identify and capitalize on new business opportunities, and to provide value-added support to our customers and partners.Prior to joining Teleste Intercept, I led the creation and launch of a new business unit at Teleste, combining audio visual product sales with the existing hospitality product range. I also played a key role in the sale and management buy-out of Asheridge Communications, a leading manufacturer and distributor of solutions to the cable TV industry. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong commercial acumen, entrepreneurial flair, and operational excellence, as well as the ability to manage channels, attract vendors, and oversee IT, ERP and CRM strategies. I am passionate about innovation, impact, and integrity, and I strive to foster a collaborative, customer-centric, and transparent culture in my team and organization. I enjoy building rapport and trust with diverse stakeholders, reconciling differing perspectives, and creating cohesion. I also value mentoring and empowering others to achieve their personal and professional potential. I welcome the opportunity to connect and chat with anyone who shares my vision and interests.
