John Miller becomes new AJA Vice President of Global Sales

The AJA international sales teams will be led by John Miller, who will draw on his experience at Vizrt, BeBop, Brightcove, Avid and Autodesk to serve as the company’s vice president of global sales.

Miller joins AJA from visual storytelling tools provider Vizrt, where he spent more than two years overseeing major broacast accounts as director of enterprise sales, exceeding sales quotas and assembling teams to successfully execute projects. Previously, Miller led worldwide sales and marketing efforts and strategic third-party partner relationships for cloud-based SaaS M&E provider BeBop Technology, and also served as vice president of Americas Media Sales at Brightcove, a developer of online video platforms.

Miller also spent seven years at Avid, where his leadership as senior director of sales for the U.S. and Canada helped grow sales “year over year,” and he played an integral role in driving revenue growth at Maximum Throughput, a media and storage management technology developer acquired by Avid in 2009, in the role of vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. Previously, Miller served as vice president of worldwide sales and marketing for Autodesk’s M&E division and also worked for Discreet Logic in regional sales and general management roles prior to Autodesk’s acquisition of the company.

Nick Rashby, president of AJA, welcomes the addition of John Miller: “John Miller is a seasoned professional with an exceptional track record, and we’re thrilled to have him on board. He’s well-known and well-respected within the industry we serve and has steered teams through many complex emerging technologies and sales models, and mergers and acquisitions. His extensive market knowledge, experience working with worldwide reseller channels, and strong leadership qualities are invaluable, and we’re excited to continue growing AJA sales globally with him at the helm.”

On the other hand, Miller himself has stated, “As a company, AJA has established an impressive global footprint, with a reputation for building tools that address real-world challenges and providing world-class support. I’m excited to work with AJA’s incredible team and apply my knowledge and unique skill set to increase sales and grow the business.”
