With nearly three decades of live broadcast experience, extensive industry knowledge and leadership skills, Stoneham will oversee the development of Riedel’s live production portfolio in EMEA. Stoneham joins Riedel after nearly 24 years at EVS, where he held a variety of management and technical positions after beginning his career as a replay operator. “Live production has always been my passion, desaidlivering innovative solutions to customer needs that enhance storytelling and production quality. I’m honored and excited to start this new chapter in my career and be part of Riedel’s incredible team and family, ”he said.

Joining Riedel as a systems consultant, Orellano began his career in broadcast as a maintenance engineer before gradually moving into management and leadership roles at EVS. In his 14 years at EVS, he most recently held the position of head of technical support operations for the Americas. On his introduction as part of Riedel, he comments, “I thank Riedel for the warm welcome they’ve given me, and I’m truly excited to have been given the opportunity to be part of such great organization. I look forward to contributing to the company’s ongoing success.”

Finally, Rivolta, a live production specialist, has held various training, operational and engineering support roles at EVS and Simplylive for nearly 20 years. He has also accumulated extensive experience as a replay operator and match director, having directed more than 150 soccer matches with up to 14 cameras for Football Serie A, in addition to working on major broadcast productions of 12 other sports. “My personal motto has always been, “If you are not having fun, you are doing something wrong.” This attitude made me a perfect fit for the Simplylive team back then, and I can already feel that it won’t be any different at Riedel. I am really thrilled to come back and work again with this fabulous team of great people, ”concludes Rivolta.
