Riedel Communications has announced the expansion of its sales team in France with the appointment of Philippe Delépine as regional sales manager and François Sarbinowski as sales specialist, live production, augmenting the company’s overall sales and support capacity in the country while also addressing the possibilities offered by the modular Simplylive Production Suite.
“Philippe has tremendous technical expertise, proven know-how, connections with customers across the French media technology market, and a commitment to customer success that make him a valuable addition to the Riedel team,” says Franck Berger, regional sales director Southern Europe at Riedel Communications. “With his extensive background as a slow-motion replay operator, trainer, presales engineer, video technology coordinator, and technical consultant working with Simplylive, François is an ideal fit as we extend our team to address increasing demand for our multicamera live production solutions.”
Delépine joins Riedel with decades of experience proposing and implementing audio and video solutions for major players across the broadcast and professional AV industries. He was a sales engineer and project manager at Audiopole, where he contributed to efforts with notable French media organizations, and more recently served as a commercial engineer with CVS Engineering, a system integrator covering all areas of broadcast TV sets, control rooms, as well as institutional clients.
Sarbinowski began his career in the industry as a video assistant and today has three decades of experience using live slow-motion replay technology at notable live sports events. Spending many years with EVS Broadcast Equipment in France, he served as a training manager and then as presales/operation manager, introducing the company’s products to customers across Europe.
More recently, Sarbinowski was a video technology coordinator for the International Cycling Union and a technical consultant for different jobs, including remote production with the Simplylive Production Suite for a major tennis tournament in Paris.
