Clear-Com has announced the promotion of Kris Koch, who joined the company as a regional sales manager for the southwest U.S. in 2018, to business development director, broadcast network and media production where he is serving as the main point of contact for national U.S. broadcast systems integrators.
“Our broadcast sales have always been a huge part of our business, and now media production in TV and Film has grown considerably in the last couple of years,” says Chris Willis, Clear-Com VP of sales. “Kris’ knowledge and career experience in both these fields will lend itself greatly to these linked areas of focus.”
Koch has previously held senior sales and engineering positions within the broadcast and live events sectors. Prior to joining Clear-Com he was director of engineering at MediaOne where he designed and built a new facility with two studios and managed broadcast operations for AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. His experience also includes time at Key Code Media, where he worked with content producers to develop state-of-the-art production workflows, and in his previous role at Sonic Solutions, he helped his customers deliver content on Blu-ray, HD-DVD and DVD.
“In my time here at Clear-Com I have had the opportunity to work with great partners and amazing customers. Clear-Com has a rich history of success with our broadcast partners and I’m excited to carry on that tradition,” Koch says. “I believe my experience in sports and news broadcasting as well as my time working with top system integrators will be helpful as I continue to grow and learn. Our industry is always changing and adapting, it’s my job to stay ahead of those changes as best I can to support our partners.”
