Manuel Paredes joins Ross Video's EMEA sales team

After his time at Grass Valley, Paredes joins Ross as regional sales director for the markets of Spain, Italy and Portugal.

Manuel Paredes has joined Ross Video as general sales director for the markets of Spain, Italy and Portugal.

Paredes has worked in the broadcast sector since 1990 when he began his career designing studios and mobile units in Spain. Since then he has held different technical and engineering support functions for both private broadcasters and various manufacturers in the industry. He now joins Ross from Grass Valley, where he was responsible for sales and key accounts in the Iberia region.

Óscar Juste, EMEA Sales Director, points out that "Manuel is a highly recognized professional in the Iberia region and has an excellent track record. This is another very positive milestone for Ross Video, which demonstrates that we continue to incorporate the best sales and technical professionals in the industry. I am very satisfied to see how our team is growing at a time when so many other companies are consolidating or reducing their sales force in the region."

Paredes, who will be based in Spain, maintains that "Ross Video has an excellent reputation for both customer focus and service. I am very pleased to join a company with such a diverse and comprehensive portfolio of products. Customers are increasingly looking for integrated solutions from a single supplier and I believe Ross is exceptionally well placed to meet this trend."
