Magenta Research Strengthens European Channel with New Hire
Thierry Destombes Joins as French Business Development Manager
November 28, 2011, New Milford, CT, USA – Magenta Research, the recognised leader in signal extension, distribution and switching, has appointed Thierry Destombes to the position of Business Development Manager for France. Destombes will play a key role in implementing Magenta’s growth strategy in this important European market, focusing on building relationships with new and existing customers and channel partners.
Destombes has a strong sales background in the IT and digital signage sectors, most recently serving as the France/Belgium Country Manager for Minicom Advanced Systems. Prior to that, Destombes was a Sales Manager for Avocent.
Based in Vincennes, Paris, Destombes will help drive visibility of Magenta’s product portfolio via regular demonstration to end users and channel partners. As part of his mandate of identifying new sales opportunities and securing market share throughout France, Destombes will focus on increasing Magenta’s presence with system integrators; a segment that he estimates controls more than 80% of the digital signage business in France.
“We are very excited to have Thierry on board,” stated International Sales Director Rob Muddiman. “His impressive background and extensive experience in the channel — combined with our innovative connectivity solutions — will further solidify Magenta’s foothold in the region.”
